7. ISC and FME
 The majority of our customers utilize the
ESRI GIS platform and require data deliveries
in their native formats.
 In order to meet the needs of our customers
and ISO requirements, a safe and efficient
method to convert our data needed to be
developed.
 FME provides a stable, safe, and reliable
platform to translate our data products to
customer required formats.

 Data compatibility
 Efficiency
 Reliability
 Consistency
 Repeatability

9. FME Workbench
 FME’s workbench gives ISC the ability to work
in our native data format and translate to the
customer required final data format.
 The ability to work in the INGR format allows
ISC develop in house tools and workflows
that are more efficient.
 The flexibility to deliver a multitude of
different data formats allows ISC to meet the
needs of many different customers.

10. ISC Daily Uses for FME
 Data Preparation
 Data Transformation
 Data Delivery
 Source Preparation
 Custom Workbenches for solutions to specific
issues
 Translation of Customer Feedback

11. FME Workbench
 For some of our products, ISC needs to ingest
customer provided source information and
convert it into our native INGR format.
 Some examples of these formats are:
 .xls spreadsheets
 ESRI shapefiles
 ESRI Personal Geodatabases
 Simple text files

12. XLS to GeoMedia MDB

13. ESRI SHP to GeoMedia MDB

14. GeoMedia MDB to ESRI MDB

15. Internal Translations
 ISC also uses FME to accomplish data
manipulations and transformations.
 The database portion of our collection
requires a large amount of attribute
population.
 FME can take a set of attribution and auto
populate the values of specific attributes with
specific values.

16. Schema Mapper
 ISC reformats a dataset by renaming,
repopulating, and creating new additional
attributes via the FME workbench.
 Once the attributes are populated, ISC uses
the feature type filter transformer to extract
the dataset back to separate feature classes.

18. Schema Mapper

19. Schema Mapper
 ISC uses Schema Mapper to fill in attributes in
large datasets that will be populated with defined
values from a .csv file.
 Here are the column name examples from the csv
for the Schema Mapper Transformer to read
from:
 GmpFeclass
 GdbFeclass
 Codeattr
 Codevalue
 Codedescattr
 Codedescvalue

20. Custom Workspace Examples
 Example #1
 Workspace to populate building length and width
 Example #2
 Workspace to take a database with information
and associate this information with a web-based
platform (i.e. Google Mash-up)
