Working with crossborder maps that get their data from two different datasets.
There are many ways to approach this, and I am toying with the idea to convert the attributes and their values from dataset A to the standard of dataset B. The benefit would be easier downstream processing.
A simple example:
Dataset A: attribute ‘Lakes’, value ‘yes’
Dataset B: attribute ‘water’, value ‘1’
Then do some FME-magic to convert everything from A to the standard of B, ie ‘lakes’ → ‘water’ and ‘yes’ → ‘1’
I imagine that the only reasonably fast way to set this up would be by utilizing an external lookup table, csv or similar. How would one go about to change both the attribute and values from an external lookup table? I would like to keep it dynamic and easily editable, so preferably avoiding the AttributeValueMapper.
