Session ID#: 13400

Session Description:
Samples are the ground truth for many investigations in Earth Science. Despite increased efforts linking physical samples to associated metadata, data, and resulting publications, challenges remain (e.g., incomplete or ambiguous identification for physical samples stands in the way of synoptic studies). The International Geo Sample Number (IGSN) resolves some of these challenges, and is now recommended for use in publications by AGU and the Coalition on Publishing Data in the Earth and Space Sciences (COPDESS). While many have adopted the use of persistent identifiers, others remain unaware of this effort or its value to their work.

In this session we will explore the following questions:

  • How can we generate wider adoption of the IGSN?
  • How can we increase IGSN interoperability with other persistent identifier systems to improve the accessibility of physical samples for scientific use?
  • What communities need to be targeted?
  • What policies and best practices need to be encouraged?
