Overview

An ADAC XML document consists of a root ADAC element containing various data structures from civil engineering assets.

ADAC v3 defines the following asset themes:

ADAC v3
Sewerage
Roads
Water
Stormwater
Cadastre

For backwards compatibility, the interpretation/mapping of the ADAC v3 assets remains unchanged.

ADAC v4 and v5 define the following asset themes:

ADAC v4 and v5
Sewerage
Transport
WaterSupply
StormWater
OpenSpace
Cadastre
Surface
Enhancements
Supplementary

Reader Overview

The ADAC reader creates FME features from the various ADAC asset structures.

The asset structures in v4 and v5 are mapped differently from the ADAC v3.

See Feature Representation for details.

Coordinate Systems

FME ADAC features are tagged with a coordinate system when the reader finds a mapping between the name specified in the ADAC <HorizontalCoordinateSystem> element and an FME coordinate system name.

The ADAC <HorizontalCoordinateSystem> is a child of the <CoordinateSystem> element which is a child of the ADAC <Project> element.

Writer Overview

The ADAC writer generates ADAC v4 and v5 XML files. The writer has fixed feature types, which are the same as the schema used by the ADAC reader.  

See Feature Representation for details on the writer feature type format attributes.
