Two strategies have been used to integrate the geometry and attributes into a single vector file format structure: [13] A georelational format stores them as two separate files, with the geometry and attributes of each object being linked by file ordering or a primary key. This was most common from the 1970s through the early 1990s, because GIS ...
A WFS describes discovery, query, or data transformation operations. The client generates the request and posts it to a web feature server using HTTP. The web feature server then executes the request. The WFS specification uses HTTP as the distributed computing platform, although this is not a hard requirement.
WMTS specifies a number of request encodings: KVP key-value-pairs encoding (over HTTP) REST Representational state transfer encoding (over HTTP) SOAP Simple Object Access Protocol encoding (usually over HTTP)
