Web Feature Service
The OpenGIS Web Feature Service Interface Standard (WFS) is an interface allowing requests for geographical features across the web using platform-independent calls. Geographical features can be thought of as the 'source code' behind a map, where as the WMS interface or online mapping portals like Google Maps return only an image, which can not be edited or spatially analyzed.
