Hi all,
My team is starting to play with WFS and a colleague had the following question: what are the options we have for sharing the symbology of geodata served via WFS?
If I'm not mistaken, symbology isn't part of the WFS service. I know there's the OGC Symbology Encoding standard, but is this the best way to share symbology of WFS-served data? Can't the geodata be styled directly by the GML styles of the WFS-served data? If that's an option, what tool (open source ideally, of course) should we use to create those styles?
To be honest, no one of my team knows a lot about WFS yet (or much on the other OGC standards). I thought of asking the WFS forum (http://feature.opengeospatial.org/forumbb/viewforum.php?f=17 ) but activity is pretty low. I'm confident this list will provide insightful answers! :-) To my defense for this OSGeo-unrelated question, we do process and serve all the related geodata using OSGeo software! ;-)
Thanks for any replies! Alex -- Alexandre Leroux, M.Sc., Ing.
