Advantage WFS vs. WMS

[Kai Behncke]

Hello list,

I would like to know what the advantages of WFS in comparison to WMS are?

Some aspects are quite clear:

-It`s easier to design a WFS than a WMS. The way with SLD is not necessary.

- Poissibility to analyze and select WFS-Features with Filters (at WMS just a
spatial analyze with BBOX is possible)

- Tooltip-possibility

- Highlighfunction

Does anybody know other advantages WFS gives in comparison to WMS?



Thank you, Kai
