1) Overview
The OpenGIS Web Feature Service Interface Standard (WFS) defines an interface[http://www.opengeospatial.org/ogc/glossary/i] for specifying requests for retrieving geographic features [http://www.opengeospatial.org/ogc/glossary/g] across the Web using platform-independent calls. The WFS standard defines interfaces and operations for data access and manipulation on a set of geographic features, including:
• Get or Query features based on spatial and non-spatial constraints
• Create a new feature instance
• Get a description of the properties of features
• Delete a feature instance
• Update a feature instance
• Lock a feature instance
The specified feature encoding for input and output is the Geography Markup Language (GML) [http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/gml] although other encodings may be used.
