Example GeoSciML WFS Services

Arizona Geological Survey GeoSciML Web feature service for GeologicUnit mapped features

http://vm.usgin.org:8080/PolygonMappedFeature/wfs (12/24/09--off line for server upgrade, check back in January)

Here is an example get feature request that will produce a GeoSciML response:

<wfs:GetFeature service="WFS" version="1.1.0"
        xmlns:wfs="http://www.opengis.net/wfs"
        xmlns:ogc="http://www.opengis.net/ogc"
        xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/wfs
    http://schemas.opengis.net/wfs/1.1.0/wfs.xsd">
    <wfs:Query typeName="gsml:MappedFeature">
        <ogc:Filter> <ogc:BBOX>
                <ogc:PropertyName>shape</ogc:PropertyName>
                <gml:Envelope srsName="http://www.opengis.net/gml/srs/epsg.xml#4326">
                    <gml:lowerCorner>-110 32.5</gml:lowerCorner>
                    <gml:upperCorner>-110.001 32.5001</gml:upperCorner>
                </gml:Envelope>
            </ogc:BBOX>
        </ogc:Filter>
    </wfs:Query>
</wfs:GetFeature>
