Geoportal

A geoportal is a web application offered by an organization which allows a standard access to its own geoinformation by means of a WMS Client, and also to other geoinformation available from external WebMapServers, that the SDI allows to connect to. It can include a Catalogue of metadata related to its own geodata.
