Geometric Entity Form

This form of FME correlation line is used for all SAIF geometric entities. The line first specified is the <member type>. The value specified for <member type> must match a value specified in a SAIF_DEF line. The line then stipulates the type of geometry that the feature contains. The FME supports all SAIF geometries permitted by SAIF-Lite. Finally, the <attribute path> <attribute value> pairs are specified, as they are for any other formats. The only difference with SAIF is that the <attribute path> values may be of arbitrary depth. See the SAIF Toolkit Application Programming Interface (API) document for a discussion of attribute paths.1The SAIF-Lite specification and SAIF Toolkit API document describe the allowed geometry types and the attribute path syntax used by SAIF.

SAIF <member type> \
	position.geometry.Class <geometry class> \
	[<attribute path> <attribute value>]*
