| Application | SLD is an XML schema that defines the structure of a layer style. SLD defines styles that can be used for publishing raster and vector data available through a WMS. Basically, SLD is what makes the map more colourful and user-friendly and it is responsible for telling the server how to render the map. |

| Implementation benefits | SLD allows users to define their own styles. With SLD users can develop style sheets that can be used for specific maps, such as topographic maps. This provides consistency and is an effective method for generating maps. The SLD style sheets are reusable and interoperable. |
| Products | Commonly, SLD is implemented in conjunction with a WMS. A number of these implementations also provide extensions on the standard SLD. An example of an SLD implementation is GeoServer 2.5.2. |
