This is what Honeycomb and Charity Majors talk about when they get into observability. They talk about events rather than logs, and discuss how to construct a meaningful event from a series of data points [1].

Having a good dictionary of logging fields is something that is coming together more [2] although some companies will prevalidate log messages to ensure they meet the given conditions, like Palentir's Witchcraft [3]
