Vector one emphatize on the challenge that is semantics. From the blog: "As an analogy, translation can be seen as moving data using WFS or WMS, for example. But interpretation is something altogether different. [...] One would think that geography and coordinates would make that simple. It does, for location. But features and attribution bring different semantics into consideration." Be sure to read the GeoSpatial Semantics blog is this is in your interests.
