Classification Object Specification

Description

The Classification object is an object designed to encode value added information available for a Pick from advanced algorithms such as machine learning. Classification uses the JSON standard.

Usage

Classification is intended for use as part of the Pick Format in seismic data messaging between seismic applications and organizations.
