iSamplES: The Internet of Samples in the Earth Sciences
3iSamplES Objective
advance the use of innovative cyberinfrastructure to connect physical samples and sample collections across the Earth Sciences with digital data infrastructures as par of EarthCube to improve the discovery, access, sharing, analysis, and curation of physical
samples and the data generated by their study as needed by the science community
The Internet of Samples in the Earth Sciences
![Page 4: iSamples Research Coordination Network (C4P Webinar)](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110200/55c3cb47bb61eb065d8b4633/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
iSamplES: The Internet of Samples in the Earth Sciences
4iSamplES Goals
develop a shared vision for an Internet of Samples in the Earth Sciences.
converge on and eventually build consensus for best practices and standards for sample registration, identification, citation, and metadata that can be adopted across the diverse stakeholder community.
enhance broad awareness of and access to existing resources that will advance preservation, access, and management of samples

18Workshop Discussions
Identified commonalities “People are all facing similar problems.” “We are all in the same boat together.”
Revealed consensus Focus on minimum critical solutions “simple is actually better than a Cadillac of software” “Encouraged that the sample information that is needed can be
relatively small” “Stop the bleeding first” (problem of legacy on back burner) Need for culture change “old mentality that this is my rock” need for education so that scientists document samples better
![Page 19: iSamples Research Coordination Network (C4P Webinar)](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110200/55c3cb47bb61eb065d8b4633/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Today’s most troubling and daunting problems have common features: some of them arise from human numbers and resource exploitation; they require long-term commitments from separate sectors of society and diverse disciplines to solve; simple, unidimensional solutions are unlikely; and failure to solve them can lead to disasters.
In some ways, the scales and complexities of our current and future problems are unprecedented, and it is likely that solutions will have to be iterative . . .
Institutions can enable the ideas and energies of individuals to have more impact and to sustain efforts in ways that individuals cannot.

21iSamples Governance
Steering committee provides guidance to the PI and co-PI, who then serves as the leadership for operations. SC is responsible for defining the vision and statement of
principles, with an invitation for individuals and organizations to serve as signatories.
Working groups focus on identified tasks. Specify goal, scope, deliverables, and periodic two-way input to
steering committee (with chairs or co-chairs added to steering committee).
Potential to be allied with or serving as working groups in ESIP, RDA or others
Plan additional workshop for early 2016 and assess need for more structure at that time
![Page 22: iSamples Research Coordination Network (C4P Webinar)](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110200/55c3cb47bb61eb065d8b4633/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

23Working Groups
WG1: Identifiers & Metadata WG2: User stories & scientific requirements
incl. policies for sample sharing WG3: Communication, Education, Training WG4: Architecture & Workflows WG5: Physical Infrastructure
incl. digitization of collections, sample rescue
![Page 24: iSamples Research Coordination Network (C4P Webinar)](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110200/55c3cb47bb61eb065d8b4633/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24WG1: Identifiers & Metadata
Problem: Lack of standards for sample discovery & identification across domains
Goal: Define minimum metadata profiles required to facilitate functional/meaningful discovery and interoperability across domains Try not to make metadata burdensome, but promote use and still make it rich Examine scope & integration of unique identifier types (IGSN, LSID, BCID, RRID, etc.) Build consensus for leading practices to make recommendations to community
Co-chairs: David Arctur (UT Austin), Reyna Jenkyns (Ocean Networks Canada)
![Page 25: iSamples Research Coordination Network (C4P Webinar)](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110200/55c3cb47bb61eb065d8b4633/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25WG1: Next Steps
compile use cases for metadata needs (work with WG2, WG4)
gather & evaluate existing resources (metadata, vocabularies, UIDs) – don’t reinvent the wheel session at ESIP Summer Meeting
identify key contacts EarthCube TAC CODATA Task Group, ESIP, RDA IG,
etc.

26WG2: User Stories & Science Requirements
Problem: We do not have a full picture of how
people interact with samples. We don’t have good life cycle based
policies, don’t know when/where different actors are needed (curators, investigators, etc.)
Goals: Collect user stories Articulate different life cycle practices for
different users Identify curatorial points of intervention,
develop policies/recommendations
Co-chairs: Andrea Thomer (UIUC), Sarah Ramdeen (UNC Chapel Hill)
![Page 27: iSamples Research Coordination Network (C4P Webinar)](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110200/55c3cb47bb61eb065d8b4633/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27WG2: Next Steps
generate flowcharts for research processes
establish protocol for further interviews with people from different roles and domains
encourage RCN participants to post institutional policies
use EarthCube End-user workshops
![Page 28: iSamples Research Coordination Network (C4P Webinar)](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110200/55c3cb47bb61eb065d8b4633/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28WG3: Communication, Training, Education
Problem: Insufficient appreciation of benefits of digital sample management
Goal: Develop communication plan to promulgate best practices specific for a variety of audiences
(students/ECS, late career scientists) identify ambassadors prepare training modules
Co-chairs: Ben Hallett (U Wisconsin Oshkosh), Ashlee Dere (U Nebraska Omaha)
![Page 29: iSamples Research Coordination Network (C4P Webinar)](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110200/55c3cb47bb61eb065d8b4633/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29WG3: Next Steps
work toward communication plan: create 3 slides about iSamples as talking points
build skeleton of list of registries, listservs, etc.
reach out to EarthCube Engagement Team
work closely with other WGs to contribute materials
![Page 30: iSamples Research Coordination Network (C4P Webinar)](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110200/55c3cb47bb61eb065d8b4633/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30WG4: Architecture & Workflows (incl. citation of samples)
Problem: Barriers to adoption of leading practices such as IGSN assignment, standard sample documentation, sample citation in the literature
Goals: Identify barriers and develop solutions with maximum efficiency, e.g. for integrating IGSNs into workflows from collection to publishing gather data from people in the field and who work
with collections design of app to support metadata capture in the
field (with EC3?) recommend protocols for citation of samples to NSF
Co-Chairs: Unmil Karadkar (iSchool, UT Austin), Emily Hernandez Goldstein (Jackson School, UT Austin)

31WG4: Next Steps
Evaluate IGSN registration process and tools and identify steps to improve usability integrate SESAR user feedback talk with the use case group about what feedback they get
Propose solutions Software applications
(design & test applications for digital data entry in the field) (iSchool class project)
Incentives Requirement of agencies
DMPs to have IGSNs - reach out to make reviewers require it
Work with EarthCube RCNs EC3, C4P

32WG5: Physical Infrastructure, Digitizing, Cataloguing, & Sample Rescue
Problem: Loss of physical samples and the information (data/metadata) about them
Goals: Produce a vision for national archive
system for physical samples Produce proposal for funding streams
for a national archive system and systematic digitization of samples (like iDigBio?)
Co-chairs: Leslie Hale (Smithsonian Institution), Ramona Walls (iPlant)

33WG5: Next Steps
use the DESC & iSamples survey to develop a set of criteria by which samples should be
preserved; to develop a set of criteria for which collections should
be digitized first; to develop leading practices for digital archiving of
sample data/metadata. represent WG at Marine Curators meeting in April
