The ArcGIS Data Interoperability extension adds direct data access, transformation, and export capabilities within ArcGIS to enable GIS users to easily use and distribute data in many formats. The extension is fully integrated with the geoprocessing framework including ModelBuilder to add data format manipulations within GIS models.
The FME Workbench application is included with the ArcGIS Data Interoperability extension. This application is a visual diagramming environment that supports dozens of transformers that enable you to transform both geographic and attribute information. FME Workbench can be used to create a Spatial ETL tool or a "custom format". Spatial ETL tools enable you to transform your data during translation. Custom formats enable you to transform your data on-the-fly during read operations.
The geoprocessing framework allows you to use geoprocessing tools / functions in a variety of ways. The tools can be directly used from a dialog, they can be executed via command line, they can be combined with other processes in visual models using Model Builder, or used in advanced scripts.
