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.
GeoAPI is free software providing a set of Java interfaces for GIS applications. GeoAPI interfaces are derived from the abstract model and concrete specifications published collaboratively by the International Organization for Standardization in its 19100 series of documents and the Open Geospatial Consortium in its abstract and implementation specifications.
Unlike the OGC Web Map Service (WMS), which portrays spatial data as static, server-rendered images (maps), the Web Coverage Service delivers underlying data values along with their detailed descriptions. This enables a rich syntax for queries against the data and returns information with its original semantics, rather than just pictures ...
The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) became involved in developing standards for web mapping after a paper was published in 1997 by Allan Doyle, outlining a "WWW Mapping Framework". [3]
This is a comparison of notable GIS software. To be included on this list, the software must have a linked existing article. The selection of GIS software is a non-trivial task typically undertaken at project commencement. The use of appropriate selection criteria and methodology can be critical to a project's success, with considerations including outlay costs, ease of use, data and system ...
This is a list of free and open-source software for geological data handling and interpretation. The list is split into broad categories, depending on the intended use of the software and its scope of functionality. Notice that 'free and open-source' requires that the source code is available and users are given a free software license.
