Exploring Geodb.io’s Features
Documents and Photos
Geodb.io includes dedicated Document and Photo models to enhance your data with files and images:
- Documents: Each entry holds one document, with supported types including PDF (scanned documents), GPX (GPS tracks and waypoints), TIF/TIFF (georeferenced images like maps, geophysical interpretations, or cross-sections), and QML (QGIS style files). Documents are not renamed upon upload, but each must have a unique name and project combination to avoid duplicates.
- Photos: Each entry holds one image, automatically renamed upon upload to prevent duplicates. Like documents, each photo must have a unique name and project combination.
Both documents and photos are stored in their respective Documents and Photos tables, but they can also be saved and accessed from related tables that incorporate them. The relationship is many-to-many, meaning one entry (e.g., a land holding) can link to multiple photos and documents, and a single photo or document can be reused across multiple entries to avoid redundant uploads. For example:
- Land Holdings can include documents like location notices, notices of intent to hold, or GPX files from staking, as well as photos of the site.
- Models using photos include Definition tables (e.g., Alteration, Lithology), Field Data tables (e.g., LandHolding, PointSamples, Archaeology, Field Observations, Structural Measurements), and Drill Hole tables (e.g., Drill Collars, Drill Photos, Drill Samples, Drill Lithology, Drill Alteration, Drill Structures).
This flexibility ensures your visual and file-based data is fully integrated into your exploration workflow.
Broader Data Layout
Geodb.io organizes data into logical categories, with specific tables (models) for each aspect of mineral exploration:
Company Data (Shared Across Projects):
- Laboratories: Details of labs used for assays.
- Standards: Reference standards for quality control.
- Methods: Analytical methods for assays.
- LandHoldingTypes: Definitions for types of land holdings.
- QCTypes: Quality control sample types.
Project Data (Specific to Each Project):
Definitions:
Definitions:
- Alteration: Alteration types for logging.
- Lithology: Rock types for logging.
Documents & Media:
- Documents: Uploaded files (PDF, GPX, TIF/TIFF, QML).
- Photos: Uploaded images.
Assay Data:
- Certificates: Assay certificates.
- Assays: Assay results.
- QCSamples: Quality control sample data.
Field Data:
- LandHolding: Land ownership and staking details.
- PointSamples: Surface sample data.
- Archaeology: Archaeological observations.
- FieldObservations: General field notes.
- StructuralMeasurements: Structural data from the field.
Drill Hole Data:
- DrillCollars: Drill hole location and setup.
- DrillPhotos: Photos from drilling.
- DrillSurveys: Downhole survey data.
- DrillSamples: Samples from drill holes.
- DrillLithology: Logged lithology from drilling.
- DrillAlteration: Logged alteration from drilling.
- DrillStructures: Structural data from drilling.
These categories provide a comprehensive, relational framework, seamlessly linking data, documents, and photos where relevant.
