Phil,
The features in the vector layer that I am using are polygons that represent tracts of land. I presume that because of the nature of the data that it would be best to retain it as vector data. I created the vector layer and it is maintained on our web site. I presume that it would be best to keep it as vector data. Is that correct?

Is there another format for vector layers that you would recommend? I do have the option to possibly create the data in another format. Well first question is whether you need vector layer at all. I strongly recommend WMS for display, WFS for query, using an OGC server (eg geoserver, mapserver). The data can live shapefile, postgis, oracle etc (whatever is supported by the server). Much of this would depend where/how the vector data is authored. If you can use base data, then you should rather than copying to another format/location. If you look back on archives for this list, you will see discussion of WMS/WFS combo. http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/getfeature-wfs.html is an example. If you insist on ascii vector format, then I would look at GML. Notice: This email and any attachments are confidential. If received in error please destroy and immediately notify us.
