Overlay
Integrating two or more data layers into one layer
Intersect (implemented)
Results of this operation include all parts that occurs in all input layers
Input: two or more FeatureDataset
Output: one FeatureDataset
Type: nested iterations
Feature: Intersect operation with 1 feature from dataset A and 1 feature from dataset B can result more than 1 feature
Field: all fields from all input FeatureDatasets are merged into the result FeatureDataset
Union (not implemented)
Results of this operation include all parts that occurs in any input layer
Input: two or more FeatureDataset (must be same GeometryType)
Output: one FeatureDataset
Type: nested iterations
Feature: Union operation with 1 feature from dataset A and 1 feature from dataset B can result more than 1 feature
Field: all fields from all input FeatureDatasets are merged into the result FeatureDataset
Generalization
Dissolve
Aggregates features based on specified attributes
Input: one FeatureDataset, fields that user specified
Output: one FeatureDataset
Type: simple iterations
Feature: many features which have same value(s) in certain field(s) will be merged into one feature
Field: "id" field, the user-specified field(s) (additionally, fields with statistical results)
