Hi

 

 

I'm trying to read an INSPIRE compliant GML file sourced from the OS Open Names dataset. I've tried both the GML SF-0 and INSPIRE GML readers and various parameter settings, but cannot get the xlink:title attribute of certain elements in the gml to show as an attribute in FME. 

 

 

An example of a feature from the gml is below. An example of the attribute I want to read is the value "New Forest" from the xlink:title attribute of the names:inDistrict element.

 But whatever setting I choose on the reader it just gives me the following FME attributes, which don't include the xlink:title:

I'm using the XSD provided by OS and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, so any assistance would be much appreciated. 

 

 

Cheers

I'm using FME 2015 build 15253 32-bit.

@john_gis4busine Have you tried the generic GML reader instead of the INSPIRE reader, making sure to specify the OS application schema path? Also, I would recommend trying this again with FME 2016.0 as we have made a number of fixes and enhancements to our GML support. Note that I don't believe that names:inDistrict is part of the INSPIRE geographic names schema. I could not find any reference to this element type in http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/gn/4.0/GeographicalNames.xsd
