Which of the following is NOT an example of File Based Standards from the OGC?

The correct choice highlights that the Web Map Service (WMS) is not an example of file-based standards from the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). WMS is a standard for serving georeferenced map images over the internet through web-based protocols, allowing for dynamic map generation based on spatial datasets. It operates primarily on the server-side, delivering images in response to requests rather than being a format for storing data files.

In contrast, the other options are all file-based standards. KML (Keyhole Markup Language) and KMZ (the compressed version of KML) are XML formats for representing geographic data and are widely used for importing and exporting geospatial data in applications like Google Earth. GML (Geography Markup Language) is also an XML-based encoding standard defined by OGC for expressing geographical features. Geopackage is an open format for geographic information that encodes vector and raster data in a SQLite database, suitable for file-based storage.

Each of the aforementioned standards is designed for the organization and storage of geographic data within files, whereas WMS functions to provide access to dynamic, rendered map layers over the internet, thus placing it outside the category of file-based standards.
