Towards the definition of a benchmark for WMTS
Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) is a fundamental component of a digital infrastructure for visualizing geospatial big data, supporting many applications across various domains. Despite their ubiquity and long-standing use, systematic and dedicated benchmarks are currently lacking. Practitioners will highly benefit from such a framework since it provides clear guidance on assessing the performance, scalability, and advantages of WMTS implementations under varying conditions, especially in data-intensive contexts such as those demanded by modern AI applications. This work proposes a framework to study which aspects a WMTS benchmark should consider. By empirically evaluating custom and open-source WMTS solutions, this work identifies specific factors that significantly impact test outcomes, emphasizing the need for well-defined and representative test cases.
