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).

A CCOGIF feature can represent either a metadata feature or an entity feature. Metadata features describe the structure of the CCOGIF data whereas entity features form the geometry of the volume.
