WFS 2.0

WFS 2.0 (Web Feature Service 2.0) is an international standard developed by the Open Geospatial Consortium that allows users to access, query, and share geographic data over the internet. It enables anyone to request specific map features—like roads, buildings, or rivers—without downloading entire datasets. Think of it as a way to interact live with geographic information stored remotely, ensuring data is up-to-date and interoperable between different systems. WFS 2.0 enhances capabilities such as transaction support and better filtering, making geographic data sharing more efficient, accurate, and accessible for mapping, analysis, and decision-making.
