Schema features contain list attributes describing attribute names, data types, and geometry types.

Schema features contain list attributes describing attribute names, data types, and geometry types.

• A. False
• B. Not applicable
• C. True
• D. Only for non-spatial data

Answer: (C)

In FME, a feature schema summarizes how a feature is built: it lists each attribute with its name and data type, and for spatial features it also captures the type of geometry (point, line, polygon). A schema feature is effectively a collection that describes these attribute definitions and the geometry type, so tools can know what to expect and how to process the data. That means describing attribute names, their data types, and the geometry type as a grouped set is exactly how schemas are conveyed. The idea that this applies only to non-spatial data or that it’s not applicable misses the central role of geometry in the schema of spatial features, which is why the statement is correct.
