| - | ===== Aim ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Each scientific community has different needs how to reference physical sample materials, yet all communities benefit from the ability to identify samples in a globally unique and persistent way. The IGSN Implementation Organisation (IGSN e.V.) provides the organisational and technical backbone for various scientific communities to apply globally unique and resolvable, actionable, and persistent identifiers for physical sample materials. | ||

| - | ===== Scope ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | IGSN e.V. is **not a database** for samples. Discipline specific databases are operated by the respective scientific communities. | ||
| - | |||
| - | IGSN e.V. does **not prescribe a naming scheme** for samples. Communities are free to govern their IGSN namespaces according to their needs. | ||
| - | |||
| - | IGSN e.V. is **not a standard metadata scheme**. Metadata schemes in community databases are defined by the respective scientific communities. | ||
