Aircom ENTERPRISE Map Data/ASSET Data Reader/Writer

Licensing options for this format begin with FME Professional Edition.

The AIRCOM ENTERPRISE Map Data Reader/Writer provides FME with access to AIRCOM International’s ENTERPRISE format.

Overview

For reading, the FME considers an AIRCOM ENTERPRISE dataset to be the location of an index.txt file in one of the ENTERPRISE subfolders. For writing, the dataset is the name of the subfolder to write a single ENTERPRISE type. The FME reader can automatically determine which type of data is in this subfolder. The FME writer determines which ENTERPRISE type is being written and creates an appropriate folder structure and index.txt file for the destination dataset.

The AIRCOM ENTERPRISE format is a collection of different types of data. These types of data include height, clutter, vector, text, building vector, and population vector. The data is stored in a hierarchy of folders, with each subfolder containing a different type of data. Each subfolder will contain an index.txt file that will act as a guide to the location and type of data that is in the folder.

There can be an unlimited number of subfolders under the main folder. These subfolders can have any name that is legal for that operating system, but each subfolder can only contain one type of data. The index.txt file contained in each subfolder contains different fields depending upon the type of data contained in that subfolder.

The type of data that is stored is described below.

Height Data

The data file name corresponds to a binary file that contains height values for each square on the raster defined by the easting-northing coordinates.

Clutter Data

The data file name corresponds to a binary file that contains key values for the each square on the raster defined by the easting-northing coordinates. The key values correspond to strings found in the menu.txt file.

Array Data

The data file name corresponds to a binary file that contains array values for the each square on the raster defined by the easting-northing coordinates.

Vector Data

Each data file listed in the index file contains a set of 2D vectors that all have the same feature name.

Text Data

Each data file listed in the index file contains a set of text features that all have the same feature name.

Population Vector Data

Each data file listed in the index file contains a set of 2D polygons that all have the same feature name.

Building Vector Data

Each data file listed in the index file contains a set of 2D polygons that all have the same feature name.
