material

schema/components/material/1.0.1/material.schema.json

Material associated with volumes or surfaces. This component does not attempt to represent the full spectrum of information that can be associated with a material. A future shared EVO material object is envisioned; the material component only provides a placeholder sufficient to identify the material used and link to another object if one exists.

Materials have a name but are referenced uniquely by their key.

Each material contains:

  • name - A user friendly (display) name for the material. It may or may not be unique in a list.

  • key - unique identifier for the material.

  • color - Display color associated with the material. Color value as an encoded ABGR integer.

  • data_source - link to a separate geoscience object. We expect over time for a materials EVO object to exist. This field is optional; and it's intended as a link to a shared material object.
