Integrating WebGIS with WFS and GML
نویسندگان
چکیده
A geographic information system (GIS) integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information. With the advancement of technologies and internet it allows for the emerging of GIS to be considered as a WebGIS. In order to build a WebGIS for connecting to geodata sources we need commonly acceptable standards for understanding of Web interfaces. OGC standards (WMS and WFS) for Web services interfaces and data interchange are used in WebGIS. For Data access and exchange, the OGC (Open GIS Consortium) WFS is used to access and manipulate feature-level data. The main advantages of this approach are interoperability and feature-level data sharing. Web services technologies with WFS make use of XML database to store geospatial data as GML. In this paper, we analyzed different interfaces provided by WFS like GetCapabilities, DescribeFeatureType and GetFeature and integrate it with Geoserver open source GIS to limit access of data and transactions.

An SVG-based method to support spatial analysis in Web environment --Spatial analysis in XML/GML/SVG based WebGIS
This paper discusses how to provide spatial analysis for XML/GML/SVG based WebGIS. In recognition of current XML/GML/SVG based WebGIS’s insufficiency of providing spatial analysis, we focus on two important issues. First, based on the theory of spatial data modeling, we propose an SVG-based spatial information representation model to represent the needed spatial data in SVG on the browser side....

With regarding to web GIS, OGC promotes WFS allowing a client to retrieve geospatial data encoded in GML which is a modeling language to encode the semantics, syntax and schema of geospatial information resources. Even though GML provides benefits for geographic description, it is too heavy to be processed by mobile devices. In order to address the issue, this paper evaluates GML service with W...
