WFS Central AddressService Hamburg

The Web Feature Service “WFS Zentraler AddressService Hamburg” is a Gazetteer web service (WFS-G), which is based on a Gazetteer database and thus makes the address data available to other applications. The Gazetteer database contains the addresses of the house coordinates and other information from the Statistics Office-Nord. This service has a single daily, consistent and georeferenced address database for Hamburg. The Gazetteer service is based on the data model of the Deutschland-Online Gazetteer (DOG). The technical implementation is based on the standard WFS of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). For the definition of the filter conditions of the post-requests, the filter encoding specification of the OGC must be observed. More information about the technology can be found at http://www.opengeospatial.org In particular, http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wfs (WFS 1.1.0) and http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/filter (for defining post XML requests) are of particular interest there.
