Physical Samples as Part of Cyberinfrastructure

Information

The Special Interest Group “Physical Samples as part of Cyberinfrastructure” brings together a community that is concerned with physical samples collected in the Earth Sciences and their integration with digital data and information infrastructure into an Internet of Samples. The objective of this group is to establish standards and best practices for the registration and identification of samples, their documentation, and their curation to ensure discovery, access, and preservation of both the physical samples and of the virtual representation of the samples in digital data systems.
