What is WMS/WFS

You don't know what you don't know.

What I know:

From a tomcat training video

Web SITE

Web SERVICE

Web SOCKET

Site - formatting

Service - data

Socket - idk. Something to do with JavaScript, AJAX and chat rooms

So a Web mapping/feature service shares maps/features where a wms client like openlayers or leaflet does formatting.

Database ->WMS/WFS -> OpenLayers = website

Is my above reasoning correct?

Is that what a WMS/WFS MapServer is? What am I missing from this big picture model?

Sorry for noob questions. But I when I explain things to my supervisor I want to get things right. Thanks!
