Installing the Geography Profile

The Geography profile provided with data workbenchGeography is an internal profile that provides additional functionality to your Adobe application.

As with all other internal profiles provided by Adobe, the Geography profile should not be changed. All customization must occur in your dataset or role-specific profiles or other profiles that you create.

The Geography profile includes several transformation dataset include files (located in the Dataset\Transformation\Geography folder) that define geographical dimensions. Following is a list of the transformation dataset include files provided with the Geography profile:

• City.cfg
• Coordinates.cfg
• Country.cfg
• DMA.cfg
• Domain.cfg

Each of the files is named for the extended dimension that it defines. An additional file, IPLookup.cfg, defines several geographical data fields that are used to define dimensions in the other transformation dataset include files.

For information about transformation dataset include files, see the Dataset Configuration Guide.
