Which kind of attributes represent data as it is perceived by FME?

• A. Exposed attributes
• B. Unexposed attributes
• C. FME Attributes
• D. User attributes

Answer: (C)

In FME, the data as it appears to the workspace is represented by FME Attributes—the internal attributes FME uses to describe each feature as it moves through transformers. These attributes are created by readers and carried through by writers and transformers, reflecting the actual values FME sees from the source data. User attributes are just values you add or modify yourself on top of those, while exposed or unexposed terms refer to how attributes are made visible or hidden in certain contexts, not to the fundamental representation of the data. So, the attributes that represent data as it is perceived by FME are the FME Attributes.
