GetCapabilities The GetCapabilities request is used to determine the supported FeatureTypes.The Maxar WFS supports the following OGC-defined operations: The Maxar WFS provides vector metadata, including imagery footprints, in Geographic Markup Language (GML) format. Sample WFS Client Server Application WFS Service Details
The database stores geo-feature data that can be accessed and utilized by the WFS server to generate GML documents or draw Maps. The WFS server accepts requests from the WFS client and viewer client in the form of HTTPS URL strings, and returns results encoded as XML, GIF, GML, and so on. The WFS client manages the interactions with WFS interfaces through HTTPS requests and dynamically generates HTML that can run in a web browser.

Client Viewer is a series of HTML pages running inside a web browser that can interact with the WFS server via client application through HTTPS calls. The following architecture depicts a sample integration of WFS client and server applications. The WFS server retrieves the appropriate information from the Feature store, including vector metadata and imagery footprints, and responds to the request with this information in a GML format. In a WFS scenario, the client application requests desired information from the Web Feature Service server. Web-based client/server architecture is a typical example of the structure of a Web Feature Service application. The Maxar Web Feature Service (WFS) defines a set of functions that clients may use to return actual Features with geometry and attributes that can be used in any type of geospatial analysis.Īny client making requests that conform to the OGC WFS specification can interact with the WFS server.
