Web Feature Service
From CrisisGridWiki
The Web Feature Service is one of the major services described by Open Geospatial Consortium Inc. for sharing geographic information. We have implemented a WSDL-SOAP oriented Web Service version of WFS.
The following documents describe the design issues and our solutions for this implementation. This is a ongoing project, and we expect to have a GIS Grid that consists of several WFS, WMS and other related services.
- An initial Streaming version of WFS is developed and under test. Test page for this version is here. Streaming WFS publishes the results to a NaradaBrokering topic. NaradaBrokering server address and topic name is returned to the client in response to a SOAP GetFeature request. More information and code will be available here soon. (June 27 2005)
- First version of CGL-WFS is available for download here (March 2005)

Please see the following links for more information:
- Implementing OFC WFS as a Web Service - Initial Issues: this discusses implementation issues in dealing with OGC schemas when building the service.
- WFS Demo: this is a basic form-field demo that shows examples of requests and responses. More interesting demos are integrated with Web Map and Information Services.
- wfs.wsdl: this is the WSDL defintion of the Web Feature Service. Use this to develop clients.
