-Description: A simple WFS-T server.
- TinyOWS is a simple WFS-T server based on PostGIS spatial database.
+Description: lightweight and fast WFS-T server
+ TinyOWS is a lightweight and fast implementation of the OGC WFS-T
+ specification. Web Feature Service (WFS) allows querying and retrieval 
+ of features. The transactional profile (WFS-T) allows inserting, updating
+ or deleting such features.
+ .
+ From a technical point of view WFS-T is a Web Service API in front
+ of a spatial database. TinyOWS is deeply tied to PostgreSQL/PostGIS
+ because of this.
+ .
+ TinyOWS implements strictly OGC standards and pass successfully all
+ WFS OGC CITE tests (and even beta ones).
+ .
+ TinyOWS is part of MapServer Suite, but provided as a distinct module
+ (i.e you could use it in conjunction with MapServer and MapCache, or
+ as a standalone app). But both MapServer and TinyOWS could use the same
+ configuration file, if you want to (or native TinyOWS XML config file).
