Feature Representation

In addition to the generic FME feature attributes that FME Workbench adds to all features (see About Feature Attributes), this format adds the format-specific attributes described in this topic.

Geometry

The geometry of GeoRSS features may be identified by the georss_type attribute. The valid values for this attribute are:

georss_type

Description

georss_no_geom

FME Feature with no geometry

georss_point

Point feature

georss_line

Linear feature

georss_area

Simple polygon or donut feature

georss_box

Simple rectangular polygon feature

No Geometry

georss_type: georss_no_geom

Features with their georss_type attribute set to georss_no_geom do not contain any geometry data.

Points

georss_type: georss_point

Features with their georss_type set to georss_point are single coordinate features.

Lines

georss_type: georss_line

Features with their georss_type set to georss_line are polyline features.

Areas

georss_type: georss_area

Features with their georss_type set to georss_area are polygon features which may or may not have interior boundaries.

Boxes

georss_type: georss_box

Features with their georss_type set to georss_box are simple rectangular closed polygons. Features with this type will not have any interior boundaries.
