Windows event log contains details about the event in the message field (EventData XML attribute). Extracting the information in the EventData would enable analysts to query/filter event logs based on the attributes in EventData.
The figure below shows the high-level schema.
<Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event"> <System> </System> <EventData> </EventData> </Event>
Plaso extracts the fields and stores the values as a list in the field strings.

fwiw, I think once this is in, it could mean we can make a lot of those field mappings better in https://github.com/google/timesketch/blob/master/data/sigma_config.yaml
