I am a geologist with limited technical savviness. Can someone please help me understand what an Evo Schema is?

    When you're working with geological data, like drillhole logs, point sets, or 3D grids, you’re often dealing with structured information: depths, rock types, coordinates, measurements, and more. In Evo, a schema is simply the set of rules that tells the system how to understand and organise that data. Think of it like a legend on a geological map or a template for a core log, it defines what each part of the data means and how it fits together.

    For example, if you're uploading a set of sample points, the schema will describe what each column in your data represents: maybe one is depth, another is lithology, and another is assay results. Without this schema, Evo wouldn’t know how to interpret the data, it would just be a jumble of numbers and text.

    You don’t need to write schemas yourself. They’re handled by the the technical team. But it’s helpful to know that every time you upload a new version of your data to Evo, it’s the schema that defines what that version looks like. And because schemas can reference the same data across versions, Evo can avoid duplicating files, saving space and keeping things tidy.

    In short, data is the map and Evo schema is the legend that makes it readable.
