View source for OGC Web Feature Service (WFS)

The '''[http://www.opengeospatial.org/ OGC] Web Feature Service (WFS)''' defines an interface that allows a client to retrieve and update features of georeferenced data.
The main difference between [[OGC Web Map Service (WMS)|WMS]] and WFS is that WFS gives direct access to the geometry and the attributes of a selected geospatial data, meaning that a user can work with a dataset provided by WFS. In brief, the WFS is the specification to access vector datasets.
