ArcGIS Desktop Extension

• Jointly developed by ESRI and Safe Software,
• the leaders in GIS and Spatial ETL respectively
• ArcGIS 9.0 FME 2004
• ArcGIS 9.1 FME 2004
• ArcGIS 9.1 SP1 FME 2005
• ArcGIS 9.1 SP2 FME 2005
• ArcGIS 9.2 FME 2006GB

Why Use It?

• Integrate multiple data formats from open or
  proprietary sources directly into their GIS
• Make the most of your data investments
• Maintain data quality (spatial and attribute
  information) as you convert between different
  data models
• Migrate easily from other packages/data models or
  maintain multiple systems and directly use your
  data as-is

5
Key Features

• Direct Read (95 data formats)
• Use data directly in all Desktop applications
• Data Translation
• Convert easily between data formats
• Data Transformation - (Semantic Data
  Translation)
• Data Remodeling restructuring data

6
Direct Read

• Directly read 95 additional data formats
• Use interoperability data sources in all desktop
  applications

7
ArcCatalog
Interoperability Connections (RDBMS, WFS, XML,
Shapefile) Format settings Set Spatial Reference

• Browse Interoperability data
• sources in the ArcCatalog Browse
• tree

8
ArcMap

• Easily add your Interoperability data sources to
  ArcMap (Read-Only)

Interoperability data sources support all
standard map functions such as label, identify,
selections and symbolization.
