Format Attributes are defined by which of the following?

• A. Exposed attributes
• B. Unexposed attributes
• C. FME Attributes
• D. The data format's schema

Answer: (D)

Format Attributes come from the data format’s schema. The schema defines exactly which fields exist, along with their names and data types, for that format. When a reader brings in data, FME uses that schema to create the initial set of attributes on each feature, and those are the Format Attributes. Concepts like visibility (exposed/unexposed) describe how attributes are shown or used later, not what actually defines them. “FME Attributes” is too broad, since the specific attributes defined by the format are determined by the format’s own schema.
