Supported Capabilities

Spectrum™ Technology Platform's OGC WFS allows a client to retrieve geospatial data encoded in GML. A client issues a Get Capabilities request to determine the list of feature types that a WFS offers, it issues a DescribeFeatureType request in order to obtain a description of one or more feature types, it then uses the description of the feature types to formulate a GetFeature operation.

The specific operations defined in the OGC WFS Specification are: GetCapabilities, DescribeFeatureType, GetFeature, GetFeatureWithLock, LockFeature, and Transaction. Spectrum™ Technology Platform includes a Basic OGC WFS: it is read only, and implements GetCapabilities, DescribeFeatureType, and GetFeature operations. GetPropertyValue, ListStoredQueries, and DescribeStoredQueries are also supported for versions 2.0.0 and 2.0.2.

These capabilities can be viewed using Spectrum Spatial™ Manager. For more information see Managing WFS Feature Types and Configuration.
