Hi,

Fast access to data, yes, but using WFS is rather different scenario. WFS is
made for vectors and before using it rastem DEM should be converted into
small polygons. For the whole country it would mean whole lot of small
polygons. Perhaps that is not a realistic approach. But now I think I must
shut my mouth because I have never done anything DEM related in my job
myself. Let's hope some specialist appears and gives a good solution for
you. Oh well, Klokan appeared already.
