- Describe in a sentence or two your overall operational experience related to WMS. (e.g., scientific visualization; geospatial visualization, etc). What kinds of WMS servers and/or clients do you have experience with? (e.g., commercial products, open source, or independent implementations, please provide as much detail as possible).
- I use WMS as a tool to offer and share the geospatial data on Web. And the WMS servers are MapServer, open source software of University of Minnesota.
- What types of applications do you use WMS servers/clients for? Are they suitable for your applications? (e.g., Do they work well with the data types and data manipulations in your application?)
- It seem that the data type must be strictly accorded with they supports, and its not easy to share the data lack of some geoinformation like project string.
- Why do you choose to use WMS over other protocols for your applications?
- As you know, many GIS companies support the WMS, and we can accomplish my task easily with the WMS offered by MapServer.
- Are the WMS systems easy to use? (e.g., Is it hard to learn how to use WMS systems?)
- I think its not difficult to use but it not easy to implement the system in the beginning.
- Does the performance of the WMS systems you have experienced meet your requirements? (e.g., Does it take a long time to access/view data in WMS systems?)
- What operational challenges do the WMS systems present? (e.g., Does it require advanced processing power, large amounts of memory, complex configuration, etc.? Are the systems easy to deploy and maintain?)
- It needs complex configuration, and its not easy to deploy, I think.
- How well do the WMS systems scale to large numbers of simultaneous users, or to large datasets?
- Its will get slow when those occurs.
- Can you provide information on user statistics of your WMS systems? How have the user statistics changed over time?
- Our system is just a test platform, and the user amount is small.
