Feature Representation
In addition to the generic FME feature attributes that FME Workbench adds to all features (see About Feature Type Attributes), this format also adds format-specific attributes (Format Attributes).
DES features consist of geometry and attributes. The attribute names are defined in the DEF line and there is a value for each attribute in each DES feature.
The table below lists the attributes contained in all DES features.
