Styled Layer Descriptor (SLD)

 Styled Layer Descriptor (SLD): an encoding to allow “user-defined
symbolization and coloring” of maps presented through Web Map
Services (WMS)
 Additional standard to WMS
 Controls the map (layer) symbolization by:
 Named Styles (for NamedLayers)‫‏‬
 User Styles (for NamedLayers and UserLayers)
