-Today, IGSNs are supported by a growing international infrastructure, including allocating agents and resolving services, and are already in use by major repositories and infrastructures such as SESAR2, PANGAEA, and GFZ Data Services. Operational procedures and tools now exist to automate IGSN registration and integrate it into data workflows.+Today, IGSNs are supported by a growing international infrastructure, including allocating agents and resolving services, and are already in use by major repositories and infrastructures such as SESAR2, PANGAEA, and GFZ Data Services. Operational procedures and tools now exist to automate IGSN registration and integrate it into data workflows (see [1] Baldewein et al. (2023). FAIR WISH D7 -Standard Operating Procedure for automatic IGSN registration. Zenodo. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10401380). 
  
 For data infrastructures, enabling the recording and harvesting of IGSNs strengthens metadata quality and ensures the persistent identification of samples and their relationships. Treating IGSN metadata as the authoritative source improves consistency, facilitates interoperability across systems, and enhances discoverability of sample-based data. This contributes to a more connected and sustainable research data ecosystem. For data infrastructures, enabling the recording and harvesting of IGSNs strengthens metadata quality and ensures the persistent identification of samples and their relationships.
