SGER: An online registry for unique sample identification in the solid Earth Sciences (SESAR)

固体地球科学中独特样品识别的在线登记我们请求通过探索研究小额赠款支持一个最初为期一年的项目，以尽快对地球科学网络基础设施开发中对独特样品识别器的迫切需求作出反应。我们将建立一个基于网络的固体地球样品数字登记系统，首次提供全球范围内唯一的样品命名和鉴定。建立这样的系统将对样品和数据管理产生广泛的影响，特别是在样品共享和数据集成方面。通过跟踪样品的历史，该系统将有助于随着新技术的发展而在以前收集的样品数据的基础上继续发展，从而解决地球科学中一个长期存在的重大问题，即样品的名称因等分从一个调查者传递到另一个调查者而改变，从而失去其“身份”。独特的识别符还将极大地促进基于样品的数据信息系统之间的互操作性，为研究中的发现和跨学科方法打开广泛的新机会。建立一个将提供唯一命名固体地球样品的方法的系统将对地球科学的未来产生重大影响。现有和新兴的几个主要的数据和信息管理项目处理基于样本的数据，如Chronos、EarthChem、SedDB、PaleoStrat--仅举几例，这些项目严重阻碍了它们将不同的样本数据联系在一起的潜力，并由于无法唯一识别样本而发展了系统之间的互操作性，因此，该系统是对快速发展的需求的重要回应。固体地球样本注册表(SESAR)将允许广泛的基于样本的数据类型链接和集成，从而在研究中产生新的跨学科方法。

An online registry for unique sample identification in the solid Earth Sciences(SESAR)We request support for an initial one-year project through a Small Grant for ExploratoryResearch to respond as quickly as possible to the urgent need for unique sampleidentifiers in the development of a Geoscience Cyberinfrastructure. We will builda web-based digital registry for solid earth samples that will provide for the first time away to uniquely name and identify samples on a global scale.Establishing such system will have a wide-ranging impact on sampleand data management, especially with respect to sample sharing and data integration.Through the ability to track a sample through its history, the system will facilitate ourability to build on previously collected data on samples as new techniques are developed,thus solving a long standing major problem in the geosciences in which samples losetheir "identity" as their names get changed as aliquots are passed from one investigator toanother. The unique identifiers will also dramatically advance interoperability amonginformation systems for sample-based data, opening an extensive range of newopportunities for discovery and for interdisciplinary approaches in research.Building a system that will provide the means for uniquely namingsolid earth samples will have a dramatic impact on the future of the Geosciences. Severalmajor existing and emerging data and information management projects that handlesample-based data, such as CHRONOS, EarthChem, SedDB, PaleoStrat - to name a few- are seriously hampered in their potential to link disparate data for samples and developinteroperability among the systems by the inability to uniquely identify samples, and thusthis system is an important response to a rapidly developing need. The Solid EarthSAmple Registry (SESAR) will allow wide ranges of sample-based data types to belinked and integrated, thus leading to new interdisciplinary approaches in research.
