yes - you are right. FME is a ETL tool (like GeoKettle, Java based). I
still think it can be a source of inspiration. ETL may be something
different but it has a LOT in common with what you probably want to
achieve in a model builder for analytical workflows.
I agree that we can start from something simpler and work to the more
complex, but maybe, for some design decisions it would be good to
consider later, more complex, requirements.

maybe I get it wrong, but isn't the purpose of FME somewhere else? As
far as I understand, FME is an extract-transform-load (ETL) tool for
spatial data, however here we aim for a tool for automating workflow
for analyses. Surely there is some overlap between these two, but for
now it would be better to focus on the analytical part - proceeding
one step at a time ensures that we are not designing something overly
complex.
