All the map content can be requested over WMS and WFS. The UMN-MapServer is capable to incorporate WMS or WFS map contents, which are provided by other geographical map servers.

The user can apply complex geographical PostGIS functions to generate new views for geographical requests. The user can also save geographical metadata into the shape tables.
