# WMTS Server

Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) is a standard offered by the [Open Geospatial Consortium](http://www.opengeospatial.org/) that determines how client applications perform queries to obtain map data in the form of predefined tiles from a data server.

By configuring WMTS data sources, you enable JMap to connect to and query WMTS-compatible servers (version 1.0.0). You can then create raster layers based on WMTS data sources within projects.
