1) Overview

This document explains how the Web Map Server specification can be extended to allow user-defined symbolization of feature and coverage data. It should be read in conjunction with the latest version WMS specification. At the time of writing the latest version WMS specification was defined by the WMS 1.3 Specification.
This document is together with the Symbology Encoding Implementation Specification the direct follow-up of Styled Layer Descriptor Implementation Specification 1.0.0. The old specification document was split up into two document to allow the parts that are not specific to WMS to be reused by other service specifications.
