People often ask me if i have any posibility to read and display different formats - in most cases they only want to see the Data and have no suiting tool. I have the posibility thanks to fme. But my local authority can't provide fme licenses for every single coworker who just wants to take a look at different data. So often i read the data in and export it as pdf or some other format like shape. I could provide a workspace on FME Server that converts some formats to other formats, but that won't help at any case.

Heres my Idea:

FME Server should have the ability to offer end-users a lightweight interface to upload Data in different formats and feeds a simple web-mapping application with it. Kind of a browser-based Data Inspector with basic features like zoom, pan, measure, print.

@mariuskolleck - I like that - but you should also try the HTMLReportGenerator in FME2016.1 (with either a HTML writer or textline). It will generate a simple HTML map from spatial data.

Then upload it to Server as a data streaming service - with a generic/dynamic reader to read any format of data you want to throw at it.
