Which of these options would be the best annotation for the AttributeValueMapper transformer?

• A. Map the crime attribute.
• B. AttributeValueMapper version 3, FME 2020.1
• C. Assign each crime a number based on severity.
• D. Here I mapped some of the crime attributes to accomplish the walkability score goal of the workspace in the context of this section.

Answer: (C)

The annotation should clearly describe what the transformer does in this specific step: turning qualitative severity into a numeric code. “Assign each crime a number based on severity” directly communicates the mapping outcome the AttributeValueMapper produces, making it immediately clear to someone reading the workspace what values will be produced. The other options are less suitable because they are vague about what is being mapped, mention software version, or describe broader workflow goals rather than the transformer's precise effect.
