Strabospot是一种地质数据系统，允许研究人员数字地收集，存储和共享现场和实验室数据。 Strabospot基于地质学家实际工作以收集现场数据的方式；尽管最初是为结构地质研究界开发的，但该方法很容易被其他学科扩展。数据系统使用两个主要概念来组织数据：斑点和标签。一个位点是特定区域的特征的任何观察结果，这是一个从区域到显微镜的任何空间尺度上适用的概念。斑点以纯粹的空间方式相关，因此，一个斑点可以围绕其他包含其他斑点的其他斑点。相比之下，标签提供了斑点的概念分组，允许在独立于其空间位置的位置之间进行联系。 Strabospot数据系统使用图形数据库，而不是关系数据库方法来提高灵活性并跟踪地质复杂的关系。 Strabospot在两种不同的平台类型上运行：（1）在iOS和Android移动设备上运行的基于字段的应用程序，该应用程序可以在Internet连接或断开连接的环境中运行； （2）仅在与Internet连接的设置中运行的Web应用程序。目前，我们正在将微结构数据纳入Strabospot，并扩展到包括基于现场的（沉积学，质学）和基于实验室的（实验岩石变形）数据。 Strabospot数据库将链接到其他现有和将来的数据库，以便与地质科学中的其他数字努力集成，并允许研究人员进行科学类型，而如果不容易访问数字数据，这是不可能的。
StraboSpot is a geologic data system that allows researchers to digitally collect, store, and share both field and laboratory data. StraboSpot is based on how geologists actually work to collect field data; although initially developed for the structural geology research community, the approach is easily extensible to other disciplines. The data system uses two main concepts to organize data: spots and tags. A spot is any observation that characterizes a specific area, a concept applicable at any spatial scale from regional to microscopic. Spots are related in a purely spatial manner, and consequently, one spot can enclose multiple other spots that themselves contain other spots. In contrast, tags provide conceptual grouping of spots, allowing linkages between spots that are independent of their spatial position. The StraboSpot data system uses a graph database, rather than a relational database approach, to increase flexibility and to track geologically complex relationships. StraboSpot operates on two different platform types: (1) a field-based application that runs on iOS and Android mobile devices, which can function in either Internet-connected or disconnected environments; and (2) a web application that runs only in Internet-connected settings. We are presently engaged in incorporating microstructural data into StraboSpot, as well as expanding to include additional field-based (sedimentology, petrology) and lab-based (experimental rock deformation) data. The StraboSpot database will be linked to other existing and future databases in order to provide integration with other digital efforts in the geological sciences and allow researchers to do types of science that were not possible without easy access to digital data.
