GeoServer

GeoServer项目基于J2EE平台，实现OpenGIS联合会的WFS(Web Feature Server)和WCS(Web Coverage Server)标准，并提供集成的WMS(Web Map Server)。

• WFS(Web Feature Server) 网络: Communicates real geographic data (roads, rivers etc.) to and from the user in the form og GML(Geography Markup Language).
• WCS(Web Coverage Server) 网络覆盖服务:
• WMS(Web Map Server) 网络地图服务: Displays geographic data as raster(栅格) images (maps).如 Google Map

GeoServer使用了 OpenLayers 技术作为其地图的展现层。
