Public Web Maps in Dielmo Maps are a powerful tool for creating geoportals accessible to any user without privacy restrictions. These Web Maps are ideal for sharing geospatial information of public interest, as they do not contain private data and are designed to be used by a wide audience.

Features of Public Web Maps:

1. Accessibility: Public Web Maps are accessible to any user without the need for authentication or login credentials. This makes them easily available to the general public.
2. Public Geoportals: These Web Maps can be used to create public geoportals, which are online platforms that provide access to geospatial information of public interest, such as thematic maps, environmental data, infrastructure information, among others.
3. Use of Hosted Reference Layers: Public Web Maps can include hosted reference layers, which are sets of geospatial data that do not contain private information and can be shared publicly without restrictions.
4. Integration of WMS/WFS Service Layers: In addition to hosted reference layers, public Web Maps can incorporate WMS (Web Map Service) and WFS (Web Feature Service) service layers, which are standard services for sharing geospatial data over the internet. These services allow for real-time visualization of geospatial data and querying of attributes associated with geographic entities.

Example of Use:

Let’s imagine that we want to create a public geoportal about environmental information for a specific region. We could use public Web Maps in Dielmo Maps to include reference layers with data on vegetation, water resources, air quality, etc. Additionally, we could integrate WMS/WFS service layers provided by government institutions or research organizations to obtain updated information about the environment in real-time.

Public Web Maps in Dielmo Maps are a versatile and accessible tool for sharing geospatial information of public interest, without compromising data privacy. They are ideal for creating public geoportals and disseminating geographic information to a wide audience.
