In GeoServer, we can manage style items the way we managed layers. Unlike layers, we can make styles global by not assigning them to a single workspace. This makes them usable with layers in different workspaces. On the other hand, as styles can be very specific (that is, they can use rules based on attribute data), we can also make them local by assigning them to a workspace.

These symbolizers can be explained as follows:
- Point: A symbol bound to a pair of coordinates. The symbol can be an image, or any other regular shape (for example, a square, triangle, ...
