TMS (Tile Map Service)¶
TMS (Tile Map Service) is an OSGeo standard for tiled geospatial raster data.
A TMS “repository” consists of an XML metadata file (usually named tms.xml) and a hierarchy of individual files, each one representing a single raster tile.
TMS contains pre-tiled data, so it is quite fast to load, especially if tiled in a global-geodetic profile.
As a simple file hierarchy, TMS is also web-streamable with nothing more than a simple HTTP server.
