Overview
Input Features in DORA follow a consistent naming convention. This naming structure helps you quickly understand what type of data a layer represents, how much area it covers, and how it was generated.
The Data Group determines which category Input Features are sorted into in Step 4: Select Input Features.
Each Input Feature name is built from a series of standardized abbreviations that describe the data group, spatial coverage, data type, and any additional processing details.
Naming Structure
Input Feature names are structured in the following order:
Data Group → Coverage Area → Data Type → Additional Details (optional)
Not every Input Feature will include all elements, but they always follow this general sequence.
Data Group
The first part of the name identifies the data group, which describes the broad category of information.
Code | Data Group |
ASY / CHM | Assay and geochemical data |
GEO | Geological data |
GPX | Geophysical data |
AUG | Data Augmentation outputs |
SAT | Satellite and remote sensing data |
Coverage Area
The next part of the name describes the spatial coverage of the dataset.
Code | Coverage |
LOC | Local coverage (does not cover the entire property boundary) |
REG | Regional coverage (covers the full regional exploration boundary) |
PROP | Property coverage (covers the entire property boundary) |
Data Type
The data type indicates the specific kind of data or transformation within each data group.
