[mapguide-users] OGR and MGOS

Theoretically, WMS was originally envisioned as being somewhat more than just raster...  From the version 1.0 spec:

  6.2.8.2.5 FORMAT
  The value of this parameter is to be taken from the KnownFormats list
  in the Capabilities DTD. This list is meant to be easily overridden to
  allow for addition of new formats without having to revise this
  specification. Annex A.1 contains a list of the formats included at
  the time this specification was published.
  The FORMATS can be divided into four basic groups.
  1. Picture Formats - GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, GeoTIFF, PPM, WBMP
  2. Graphic Element Formats - WebCGM, SVG
  3. Feature Formats - GML.1, GML.2, GML.3
  4. Other Formats - MIME, INIMAGE, BLANK, WMS_XML

I notice that the demo at cubewerx.com supports a GML response type, just to prove the point ... but practically, though, WMS *is* synonymous with raster.

Isn't WMS a raster format? OGR does vector data only. May be you mean to
ask about the GDAL provider?

Thk for the providers, Kenneth.

Does support WMS with 'queryable' layer?
