Subject: [ISamples] Extended deadline August 25 - Physical Samples and Digital Collections Workshop, October 14, Copenhagen

Due to a few requests, we have extended the paper submission deadline to August 25th.

This Call for Proposals is available on the workshop web page at:

------------------------------------------

The First International Physical Samples and Digital Collections (PSDC
2016) workshop will be held on October 14th in Copenhagen, Denmark in conjunction with the ASIS&T AM 2016--2016 Annual Meeting of the Association for Information Science and Technology. We solicit participation from information studies as well as communities that work with physical samples--for example, earth sciences, biology, paleontology, hydrology, archeology--to make this workshop a success.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together the community of researchers, curators, and practitioners who are interested in studying the issues involved in the management of samples, sample collections, and sample-based data in the field, in the lab, in repositories, in data systems and scholarly publications. The intention is to assemble the existing community of scholars and practitioners from both coasts of the Atlantic as well as invite those with emerging interests in this area. A secondary goal is to focus the attention of the information science community on the tremendous opportunities for research in this space and for collaborating with researchers in the Earth Sciences, broadly construed.

Research in the Earth Science disciplines depends on the availability of representative samples collected above, at, and beneath Earth's surface, on the moon and in space, or those generated in experiments. These physical samples serve as fundamental references for generating new knowledge about the earth and contribute to a deeper understanding of the processes that created and shaped it, assess the availability of natural resources, and measure the risk of natural hazards. Many samples have been collected at great cost and with substantial difficulty, are rare or unique, and irreplaceable.
