Full name	OpenGIS Styled Layer Descriptor Profile of the Web Map Service Implementation Specification
Version	V 1.1
Amendments	None
Corrigenda	None
Published by	OGC
Languages	English
Online overview	http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/sld
Type of standard	ISO International Standard and OpenGIS Implementation Specification Application level
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.
Conformance classes	Integrated SLD-WMS Component SLD-WMS Feature Portrayal Service Coverage Portrayal Service
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.
