Thanks a lot for your answer
I suppose that all users use web browser and i don't wanna serve data to other
types of users.
Am i still can take advantage of standards?
(Strictly speaking, i have test mapserver (i.e. mapscript) in its ordinary way
and now i'm confused why i should progress to WMS,WFS,.. )
Best Regards

An important reason is to give end-users more choice when selecting
tools. If the data is published using standards such as WMS or WFS they
they may be able to choose between tens (or hundreds!) of different
client-side applications to access the data. If it is published in a
proprietary or a not widely used protocol, then the choice may be very
limited.
It can be very frustrating to users if the end application is very
tightly
tied to the data and the application does not have one or two features they
require. With widely supported open standards, they can use their favorite
application to use the data in ways the system designer had not imagined.
