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

固体地球科学中唯一样品识别的在线注册表（SESAR）我们请求通过探索研究小额赠款支持一个为期一年的初始项目，以尽快响应地球科学网络基础设施发展中对唯一样品识别器的迫切需求。我们将建立一个基于网络的固体地球样品数字登记系统，这将首次在全球范围内提供样品的唯一名称和标识。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整合方面。通过跟踪样品的历史，随着新技术的开发，该系统将有助于我们利用以前收集的样本数据，从而解决了地球科学中一个长期存在的主要问题，即样品失去了它们的“同一性”，因为他们的名字在一个研究者和另一个研究者之间被改变。唯一标识符还将极大地推进基于样本的数据的互操作性，为发现和跨学科的研究方法提供广泛的新机会。建立一个系统，为固体地球样本提供唯一命名的手段，将对地球科学的未来产生巨大的影响。几个主要的现有和新兴的数据和信息管理项目，如CHRONOS，EarthChem，SedDB，PaleoStrat -仅举几例-严重阻碍了他们的潜力，连接不同的数据样本和发展系统之间的互操作性，无法唯一地识别样本，因此这个系统是一个重要的响应迅速发展的需要。固体地球样本登记处（SESAR）将允许广泛的基于样本的数据类型链接和整合，从而导致新的跨学科研究方法。

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.
