IGSN Overview | Jens Klump
What is the IGSN?

“M-1” is obviously not a unique name.

IGSN OverviewWhat IGSN does:• Provide identifiers that are guaranteed to be unique via a
hierarchical governance system. (like assigning IP addresses)• Facilitate internet-based discovery and access to physical samples
• Web application and programmatic access to sample metadata catalogues• Network with sample repositories and data centres• Ensure preservation and access of sample data• Aid identification of samples in the literature

How to Resolve an IGSN
• IGSN are registered as Handles in the Handle namespace 10273.• Example: AU288• http://hdl.handle.net/10273/AU288• http://doi.org/10273/AU288

Hierarchical Relationships in IGSN
Example: ICDP5054EEW1001HTTP URI
• http://hdl.handle.net/10273/ICDP5054EEW1001
• http://doi.org/10273/ICDP5054EEW1001
IGSN metadata can also record parent-child relationships between samples:• drill hole (parent) and drill core
sections (children)• subsamples (children) of a larger
sample (parent)

What IGSN can be used for
• Geological samples and other materials (rocks, water, biological materials, …)• Collections (groupings of
samples)• Sampling features (boreholes,
outcrops, …)
• Samples can be linked to each other through the “related identifier” metadata element.

Registration vs. Description Metadata
• The separation of administrative and descriptive metadata is a learning from setting up DataCite.• Metadata in a common service
can be:• Least common denominator• All-encompassing with lots of
optional elements• Communities of practice
define their metadata as an extension of a core set of metadata.

IGSN Description Metadata
• Sample Identification• IGSN, field name, type,
classification• Sampling Activity
• Location, time, sampling feature, collector
• Sample Curation• Curator, repository• Related Resources
• Related Object• Relation Type

The schema gives a minimal set of descriptive metadata for a global sample catalogue.

IGSN in Australia
• IGSN currently has three members in Australia:• CSIRO• Geoscience Australia• Curtin University• Joint governance of the use of IGSN in
Australia.• Community building (e.g. workshops) to
introduce sample identifiers to other institutions and other science disciplines.

Tracking the sample life cycle
IGSN is used in CSIRO for tracking samples and to support sample logistics.• In the field: unambiguous
identification, metadata capture with mobile app.• In the lab: identification and
tying data to samples.• Storage: identify collections
and samples in storage, catalogue, manage sample logistics.

How to Participate
• As an individual• register your samples through an
Allocating Agent• use the IGSN
– sample labels, data tables on your computer and in publications
• As an organisation• become a member of the IGSN e.V.
– as a regular member at act as an Allocating Agent
– as an affiliate member to promote and support the IGSN
