The protocol commonly used to query and modify data related to geographical or organizational boundaries is the Web Map Service (WMS) or Web Feature Service (WFS) as part of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards. WMS allows for the retrieval of map images, while WFS enables users to access and manipulate geospatial features directly. Both protocols facilitate interaction with geospatial data through standardized web services.
