IGSN

Status

IGSN identifiers for samples are already captured at GEOMAR, but not yet in a fully systematic way

• Capture is currently manual
• IGSNs are managed via dedicated sample systems, e.g.: [https://biosamples.geomar.de](https://biosamples.geomar.de)

Responsibility

• Geosamples: Core Repositoryx Management
• Biosamples: Bio Sample Management, Data Managemement

Challenges

There are currently no documented workflows or institutional guidelines for IGSN usage.

A key development is the ongoing implementation of API-based registration for IGSNs.

A major challenge is the unclear integration into central systems, particularly:

• Whether and how IGSNs will be exposed in OSIS applications
• Improving automation (via API)

Outlook

System integration is an important step toward a more scalable and harmonized IGSN implementation. We strive to work with the core and biosample repositories to develop proper workflows to capture and store IGDN within GEOMAR data systems.
