GlobaLID - Building an interface between geochemistry and archaeometry to create a new research infrastructure with a global perspective

两位申请人和他们的团队正在努力实现一个开放访问的研究数据基础设施，以便使用统计环境R和Shiny App对全球覆盖的应用地球化学数据进行交互和互操作。基础设施措施首先针对跨学科社区，将矿石和物体的铅同位素数据组合应用于他们的研究。实现这一重点基础设施，为铅同位素以外的许多同位素应用铺平了道路。与地球科学文献和数据库中发现的其他地球化学数据相比，铅同位素是考古物品金属来源的特定跨学科工具。因此，它们广泛地散布在考古学、地球科学、化学和材料科学杂志和书籍中。这使得访问非数字化数据变得特别困难。矿石铅同位素数据的许多参考数据表已由个别研究小组出版，通常是按感兴趣的地区有选择地出版，因此从全球角度来看非常有限。因此，随着每个研究人员建立和维护自己的数据库，整个社区的工作量成倍增加。同时，它们的个体结构导致了元信息的异质性和不完全性。此外，传统的发布数据的方式导致了固定的、不可扩展的列表。与此同时，由于并非所有机构都能提供这些数据，因此对这些数据的访问受到严格限制。GlobaLID的目标是与社区建立报告铅同位素数据的标准。在此标准的基础上，它将遵循FAIR原则，为铅同位素数据创建一个现代化的、交互式的、早该建立的数据基础设施。通过创建一个交互界面，来自世界各地的研究人员有机会以交互和独立的方式处理铅同位素数据，而由社区贡献者支持的核心专家团队确保了长期的基础设施，高质量的数据库和不断发展的应用程序。虽然数据库可以单独使用，但web应用程序将提供另一种方便的方法来处理铅同位素并创建可发表的输出。将全球id与现有的有关学科的数据库和信息系统联系起来，将增强其潜力，并保证采用最现代化的办法。因此，应用程序非常适合成为基础设施方法（如NFDI4Earth和NFDI4Objects）之间的实质性接口。除了标准化铅同位素数据，并大大简化跨学科社区对这些数据的访问，GlobaLID还希望将整个铅同位素社区更紧密地联系在一起。因此，将通过积极支持和鼓励来自较不富裕国家的研究人员参加项目讲习班来促进他们的融入。

The two applicants and their team are endeavouring to implement an openly accessible research data infrastructure for the interactive and interoperable use of applied geochemical data with a global coverage using the statistical environment R and Shiny App. The infrastructural measure is first addressed to an interdisciplinary community applying combined lead isotope data of ores and objects to their research. Implementing this focused infrastructure, the way is paved for a number of isotope applications aside from lead isotopes. In contrast to other geochemical data found in the geoscientific literature and databases, lead isotopes are a specific interdisciplinary tool for metal provenance of archaeological objects. They are therefore widely scattered in archaeological, geoscientific, chemical, and material scientific journals and books. This makes access to non-digitized data particularly difficult. Many reference data lists for lead isotope data of ores have been published by individual research groups, often selectively by regions-of-interest and therefore very limited from a global perspective. The workload of the entire community is consequently multiplied with each research building and maintaining their own databases. At the same time, their individual structures resulted in heterogeneous and incomplete meta-information. Moreover, traditional ways of publishing data result in fixed, non-extendable lists. At the same time, access to the data is heavily restricted because not all institutions can provide it. GlobaLID will aim to establish with the community a standard for reporting lead isotope data. Based on this standard, it will create a modern, interactive and long overdue data infrastructure for lead isotope data following the FAIR principles. By creating an interactive interface, researchers from around the world are provided with the opportunity to work interactively and independently with lead isotope data, while a core team of experts supported by contributors from the community ensures a long-term infrastructure, a high-quality database and a continuously developing application. Although the database can be used separately, the web application will provide an alternative and convenient way to work with lead isotopes and create publication-ready output. Linking GlobaLID with existing databases and information systems of related disciplines will enhance its potential and guarantees a most modern approach. The application is thus well suited to become a substantial interface between infrastructural approaches such as NFDI4Earth and NFDI4Objects. Beside the aim to standardize lead isotope data and significantly ease the access to them for an interdisciplinary community, GlobaLID also want to bring the whole lead isotope community closer together. Therefore, the integration of researchers from less wealthy countries will be fostered by active support and encouragement in their participation of the project workshops.
