Goal

The goal of a WMS Tile Caching proposal, perhaps WMS-C for short, is to find a way to optimize the generation of map imagery for transmission across the Internet. The proposal needs to offer ideally a single means by which map clients can fetch tiles from existing servers, in such a way that map tiles can be cached on the server, or at an intermediate location, or even be completely pre-generated, if desired. The proposal should leverage the existing investment in OGC-compliant WMS servers on the 'Net.
