Reader Overview

FME considers a single .NTF file, or a folder containing a set of .NTF files, to be a dataset. Groups of closely related records within the files are grouped together and transformed into FME features.

In addition to geographic features such as points, lines, polygons, and text features, this reader also produces features representing the relationship between short feature code values and longer feature class names.
