=Introduction=
SVG Map is a specification for the map service platform that uses [http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/ SVG]. It achieves essential functions of Map Services as a basic function by fully applying the function of SVG and enhancing a little geospatial metadata.

A dynamic web server for SVG Map is not indispensable. Of course, it is possible to use it as an option. Because it is possible to construct it as a set of a mere files, even http is not indispensable either. Therefore, SVG Map is also possible stand-alone operation based on the local file system. This characteristic is the same as HTML that is the basis of the Web architecture. It may turn out that this feature is important by investigating the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer REST] architecture thoroughly. And, it might dramatically decrease the cost of the map services.

==Protocol==
The basis of the protocol for SVG Map is simply a file access by URL. Basically, SVG Map doesn't restrict anything for it. The scheme of URL might be "file:" though it might be "http:". That is, even query part for http is an option in SVG Map.

==Functionality==
Nevertheless, SVG Map achieves following important functions of map services as a basic function without a dynamic server.
* Not only raster map but also vector map support
* Geographic coordinates identification
* Tiled map system
* Hyper-Layering (MashUp of map services)
* Stand-alone operation

==History==
The basic architecture of SVG Map was designed in 1996. Its part was standardized as [http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/ SVG]1.1 that had been recommended by [http://www.w3.org/ W3C] in 2003. And [http://blog.svg-map.com/ SVG Map Consortium] to promote it was established in 2007, and the reference implementation of the viewer was published.

=Reference implementation=
==Client==
It is a viewer because it targets even the stand-alone operation.
* [http://blog.svg-map.com/svg_map_toolkit/index.html SVG Map Toolkit]

==Server==
The minimum implementation is a mere map data file. Because the server of the minimum implementation is not dynamic, it doesn't have the program code.

-==Protocol==
+SVG Map is a specification for the map service platform on WWW that uses [http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/ SVG]. It offers the essential functions for interoperability of Map Services as a basic function by fully applying the hyper-document that is the basic structure of WWW.
-==Functionality==
+A dynamic web server is not indispensable for SVG Map. Of course, it is possible to use it as an option. Because it is possible to construct it as a set of a mere files, even http is not indispensable either. Therefore, SVG Map is also possible stand-alone operation using local file system. This characteristic is the same as HTML that is the basis of the Web architecture. It may turn out that this feature is important by investigating the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer REST] architecture thoroughly. And, it might dramatically decrease the cost of the map data publication and map services.
-Nevertheless, SVG Map achieves following important functions of map services as a basic function without a dynamic server.
-* Not only raster map but also vector map support
+== Protocol ==
 * Geographic coordinates identification
-* Tiled map system
+The basis of the protocol for SVG Map is simply a file access by URI. SVG Map doesn't restrict anything for it. Even query-part of URI which often becomes the argument in REST is not limited at all. Furthermore "file:" is acceptable as a scheme of URI. In other words, various REST-based map services with different query rules and even local files can cooperate in SVG Map easily.
-* Hyper-Layering (MashUp of map services)
-* Stand-alone operation
+== Functionality ==
 The basic architecture of SVG Map was designed in 1996. Its part was standardized as [http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/ SVG]1.1 ([http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/coords.html#GeographicCoordinates Geographic Coordinate Systems]) that had been recommended by [http://www.w3.org/ W3C] in 2003.
