The document discusses data ecosystems and how FME (Feature Manipulation Engine) can help with interoperability challenges. It describes how data flows through different environments like clouds, data stores, and visualization tools. It then discusses challenges like different data formats, models, schemas, and quality issues. Finally, it summarizes that FME can help soar above barriers with over 400 supported formats and capabilities like translation, transformation, integration, validation, and more to help share data across diverse systems.

3. The Data Ecosystem: Information Explosion

4. The Data Ecosystem
Data flows through different environments: cloud systems
(atmosphere), large data stores (ocean), visualization for
business analysis (urban), and more. All systems are
connected and part of a larger environment, paralleling the
movement of data throughout organizations and our world.
