On Spatial: OGC WFS Operation Quick Reference

웹을 통해 Feature[1] 형식으로 GIS 데이터를 접근하기 위한 인터페이스.

- 공간 데이터를 인코딩하기 위하여 (Geography Markup Language)GML[2]을 사용

- 데이터 접근 제약조건을 위해 Filter Encoding Standard(SES)[3] 사용

◎ Basic WFS

A basic WFS would implement the GetCapabilities, DescribeFeatureType and GetFeature operations. This would be considered a READ-ONLY web feature service.

○ GetCapabilities

A web feature service must be able to describe its capabilities. Specifically, it must indicate which feature types it can service and what operations are supported on each feature type.

예)

http://hostname/wfsservice?service=wfs&version=1.1.0&request=GetCapabilities

○ DescribeFeatureType

A web feature service must be able, upon request, to describe the structure of any feature type it can service.

예1 )서비스중인 모든 레이어 정보
http://hostname/wfsservice?service=wfs&version=1.1.0&request=DescribeFeatureType

예2) namespace:featuretype 레이어에 대한 정보
http://hostname/wfsservice?service=wfs&version=1.1.0&request=DescribeFeatureType&
typeName=namespace:featuretype

○ GetFeature

A web feature service must be able to service a request to retrieve feature instances. In addition, the client should be able to specify which feature properties to fetch and should be able to constrain the query spatially and non-spatially.

예)
http://hostname/wfsservice?service=wfs&version=1.1.0&request=GetFeature&typeName=namespace:featuretype

http://hostname/wfsservice?service=wfs&version=1.1.0&request=GetFeature&typeName=namespace:featuretype&featureID=feature

http://hostname/wfsservice?service=wfs&version=1.1.0&request=GetFeature&typeName=namespace:featuretype&maxFeatures=N

http://hostname/wfsservice?service=wfs&version=1.1.0&request=GetFeature&typeName=namespace:featuretype&maxFeatures=N&sortBy=property

http://hostname/wfsservice?service=wfs&version=1.1.0&request=GetFeature&typeName=namespace:featuretype&featureID=feature&propertyName=property1,property2

http://hostname/wfsservice?service=wfs&version=1.1.0&request=GetFeature&typeName=namespace:featuretype&bbox=a1,b1,a2,b2

◎ Transaction WFS

A transaction web feature service would support all the operations of a basic web feature service and in addition it would implement the Transaction operation.

Optionally, a transaction WFS could implement the GetGmlObject and/or LockFeature operations.

○ LockFeature

A web feature service may be able to process a lock request on one or more instances of a feature type for the duration of a transaction. This ensures that serializable transactions are supported.

○ Transaction

A web feature service may be able to service transaction requests. A transaction request is composed of operations that modify features; that is create, update, and delete operations on geographic features.
