[Nhcoll-l] iDigBio PaleoDigi Working Group Webinar tomorrow (May 3rd)-IGSN identifiers

[Talia S. Karim]

Please join us on Tuesday, May 3rd, at 3:00 pm ET (2:00 CT, 1:00 MT, 12:00 PT) for the iDigBio Paleo Digitization Working Group webinar. Our speaker, Kerstin Lehnert (Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory), will be talking about IGSN identifiers.

Details: Physical samples collected and studied in the Earth sciences represent both a research resource and a research product in the Earth Sciences. As such they need to be properly managed, curated, documented, and cited to ensure re-use and utility for future science, reproducibility of the data generated by their study, and credit for funding agencies and researchers who invested substantial resources and intellectual effort into their collection and curation. Use of persistent and unique identifiers and deposition of metadata in a persistent registry are therefore as important for physical samples as they are for digital data. The International Geo Sample Number (IGSN) is a persistent, globally unique identifier for samples and sampling features. Its adoption by individual investigators, sample repositories, publishers, and data managers is rapidly growing world-wide. This webinar will provide an overview of the current status of the IGSN, its use, architecture, metadata, and governance, and provide examples for its adoption.
