This session is about TinyOWS, the high performance WFS-T server.

TinyOWS operates on top of a spatial database, and provides an OGC WFS-T interface.

This application born in 2007, is now a real alternative to other WFS implementations, especially when seeking simplicity, performance and standard compliance, cf http://www.tinyows.org.

This presentation will focus on the following points:

  • How do we improved _ again _ TinyOWS performance ? An insight on architecture, configuration tips, comparative benchmarks with others WFS OSS tools and more…
  • What new juicy features are available in latest TinyOWS release ? … surprise, surprise …
  • OGC and INSPIRE compliance, what is done and what is left: OGC CITE Tests, WFS 2.0 and INSPIRE Download service
  • TinyOWS and its related ecosystem: QGIS and/or OpenLayers as WFS-T client, MapServer as a WMS companion…
  • Future, roadmap and conclusion
