EDIGéO 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).

Attribute Name

Contents

edigeo_type

The EDIGEO geometric type of this entity.

edigeo_association_code

For text features, this attribute holds the object code of the feature associated with the text feature.

edigeo_association_name

For text features, this attribute holds the object name of the feature associated with the text feature. The object name is the Conseil National de l'information Géographique specified name for the object code.

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

edigeo_type

Description

edigeo_no_geom

FME Feature with no geometry

edigeo_point

Point feature

edigeo_line

Linear feature

edigeo_face

Areal feature, may be a donut

edigeo_text

Text feature

No Geometry

edigeo_type: edigeo_no_geom

Features with their edigeo_type attribute set to edigeo_no_geom do not contain any geometry data. These feature may be output by the reader when there was an error in the data during geometry construction.

Points

edigeo_type: edigeo_point

Features with their edigeo_type set to edigeo_point are single coordinate features or an aggregate of single points.

Lines

edigeo_type: edigeo_line

Features with their edigeo_type set to edigeo_line are polyline features or an aggregate of polylines.

Areas

edigeo_type: edigeo_area

Features with their edigeo_type set to edigeo_area are either a single closed polyline feature (simple closed polygon), a donut, or an aggregate of donuts (and/or simple polygons). A simple closed polygon contains at least four coordinates, with the first and last coordinate being equal.

In an EDIGéO dataset, area features are constructed by gathering all edges that are related to the area feature. In this way, multiple area features may share adjacent edges, without duplication of the coordinates in an EDIGéO dataset. If access to these edges – not the constructed polygons – is desired, set the Read Raw Data parameter to Yes.

Texts

edigeo_type: edigeo_text

Features with their edigeo_type set to edigeo_text are text features or an aggregate of texts.

Features with an edigeo_code of Z_1_2_1 or Z_1_2_2 are considered to be text features by the EDIGéO reader. The interpretation and presentation of these text features is determined by the EDIGéO standard.
