The StraboSpot data system was initially designed for the structural geology and tectonics community to standardize structural geology data collection, facilitate sharing of primary data, and promote interactions with other geoscience communities. In order to address the \"long tail\" of community adoption of digital data storage, we are expanding the data system to include other aspects of spatially based, geological field that are relevant to tectonics.
StraboSpot uses two central concepts to organize the data: Spots and Tags. A Spot is any observation that characterizes a specific area. Spots are related in a purely spatial manner (one spot encloses another spot, which encloses another, etc.). Tags, which have no inherent spatial meaning, link conceptually related spots. The data system is based on a graph database, rather than a relational database approach, to increase flexibility and allow geologically realistic relationships between observations and measurements. StraboSpot can be used either as: 1) A field-based application that runs on iOS and Android mobile devices in either internet connected or disconnected environments; and 2) A desktop system that runs only in connected settings and directly addresses the back-end database.

We leverage the same framework to expand usage to microstructures, experimental deformation, sedimentology, and petrology. The Spot-based system maintains spatial coverage from outcrops to thin-sections, with the same approach useable within a thin section (including a gridding system). For experimental deformation, data about experiments can be directly linked to thin-sections. For sedimentological data, we have introduced a Strat (stratigraphic) section view, in addition to the map view, and practitioners can toggle between these views. Additions for petrology include functionality for mineralogy and igneous and metamorphic features. We are also developing interoperability between StraboSpot, MetPetDB, and EarthChem databases.

StraboSpot数据系统（StraboSpot data system）最初专为构造地质学与构造学领域社群设计，旨在规范构造地质数据采集流程、促进原始数据共享，并推动与其他地球科学领域社群的交流合作。为解决社群在数字数据存储采用过程中的长尾问题，本团队正对该数据系统进行扩展，将与构造学相关的空间导向地质野外工作的其他方面纳入其中。

StraboSpot采用两大核心概念组织数据：点位（Spots）与标签（Tags）。点位（Spot）指用于表征特定区域的各类观测结果；点位间仅通过空间关系建立关联（如一个点位包围另一个点位，以此类推）。标签（Tags）本身无固有空间含义，用于将概念上相关的点位进行关联。该数据系统采用图数据库（而非关系型数据库）架构，以提升系统灵活性，并支持观测与测量数据间符合地质实际的关联关系。StraboSpot可通过两种方式使用：1）基于野外场景的移动端应用，支持在联网或离线环境下运行于iOS与Android移动设备；2）仅可在联网环境下运行的桌面端系统，可直接对接后端数据库。

本团队依托同一架构，将系统应用范围扩展至显微构造、实验变形、沉积学与岩石学领域。基于点位的系统可覆盖从露头到薄片的全空间尺度，同一套方法可直接用于薄片内部分析（包括网格系统）。在实验变形方向，实验相关数据可直接与薄片数据关联；在沉积学方向，除地图视图外，本系统新增了地层剖面视图，科研人员可在两种视图间切换；针对岩石学方向的新增功能涵盖矿物学、火成与变质特征相关模块。此外，本团队还正在开发StraboSpot与MetPetDB、EarthChem数据库间的互操作性。
