WFS-T (Transactional Web Feature Service)

WFS-T (Web Feature Service – Transactional) is a web-based standard that allows users to view and edit geographic data, such as maps or spatial features, over the internet. Unlike simple data access, WFS-T supports creating, updating, and deleting geographic features in real-time, enabling dynamic and collaborative management of spatial information. This is especially useful for applications like urban planning or environmental monitoring, where data needs to be accurate, current, and shared among multiple users. Essentially, WFS-T provides a structured way to securely edit geographic data directly through web services.
