Services
In Web services following the open OGC standards, coverages can be used by various service types:
- Web Coverage Service which offers a simple access protocol for coverage subsetting, as well as optional advanced functionality
- Web Coverage Processing Service which offers a raster query language for ad-hoc processing and filtering
- Web Feature Service (although coverages can only be served as a whole, making it unwieldy in face of the often high-volume coverages, like satellite maps)
- Web Processing Service which allows publishing any kind of algorithm through an advanced remote procedure call style protocol
- Sensor Web Enablement, due to the GMLCOV use of the SWE Common standard

Famous quotes containing the word services:
“True love ennobles and dignifies the material labors of life; and homely services rendered for love’s sake have in them a poetry that is immortal.”
—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“A good marriage ... is a sweet association in life: full of constancy, trust, and an infinite number of useful and solid services and mutual obligations.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
