pointset

schema/objects/pointset/1.3.0/pointset.schema.json

The pointset object captures a set of points in space and their associated attributes. This object is widely used in earth sciences for various applications such as geological mapping, geostatistical analysis, and environmental monitoring.

A pointset can represent different types of spatial data, including:

• Sampling locations for mineral exploration
• Monitoring stations for environmental studies
• Observation points for geological surveys

Each point in the pointset is defined by its spatial coordinates and can have multiple associated attributes, such as:

• Mineral grade
• Contaminant concentration
• Temperature

Locations

To define a pointset, the object requires a locations property.

This property has two sub-properties

• coordinates - an array property with the coordinates (xyz) of each point.
• An optional attribute list.

See also:

There are two derived schema for storing specific data at the locations.

• For a pointset with lineation measurements, see lineations-data-pointset.
• For a pointset with planar orientation measurements, see planar-data-pointset.
