 * Data (resource) associated to visual representation (symbology).
 * Layers are the key elements of a map: they link datas (given by a {@link Resource})
 * to their visual representation (defined by a {@code Style}).
 * The visual appearance of a layer should be similar with any rendering engine.
 * Some details may very because of different rendering strategies for label placements, 2D or 3D,
 * but the fundamentals aspect of each {@code org.opengis.feature.Feature} or
 * {@code org.opengis.coverage.Coverage} should be unchanged.
