OGC WMTS (Web Map Tile Service) 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).

The WMTS reader delegates all raster tile reading to the FME raster readers.

An instance of WMTS reader produces a feature type that is set to the name of the selected layer.

Additional attributes with values taken from the GetTile request are attached to each downloaded raster. These attributes correspond to information of the returned tiles:

  • wmts_tile_row
  • wmts_tile_col

Geometry Representation

The geometry of WMTS Reader features is identified by the wmts_type attribute. The valid values for this attribute are:

wmts_type

Description

wmts_no_geom

FME Feature with no geometry.

wmts_raster

FME Feature containing the raster tile geometry.

No Geometry

wmts_type: wmts_no_geom

Features with their wmts_type attribute set to wmts_no_geom do not contain any raster tile data.

Points

wmts_type: wmts_raster

Features with their wmts_type set to wmts_raster are single tile raster features.
