Abstract
 Alternative Data Interoperability Solutions Track: Database Design, Automation, and Management Author(s): Keith Shaw Johnson County AIMS serves as a GIS data service provider for 21 cities and 510,000 residents. In addition to providing data, AIMS also receives GIS data from both the private and public sector. AIMS must be able to import and export GIS data to multiple GIS and CAD formats. In looking at various solutions, including Esri's data interoperability extension, AIMS has incorporated Safe software's FME (feature manipulation extraction) into their everyday business processes. FME is used in generalizing Johnson County's utility data from multiple service providers and allows for easy re-distribution of this data in different formats. This paper will look at why AIMS decided to use FME and how FME is been used on an every day basis within a County government GIS organization. Keith Shaw Johnson County AIMS 111 S.
