<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have been the one that put forward a use case for physical samples – that is, we need to create a ‘reliquary’ that references say hundreds of samples each with their own DOI/PID. A reliquary itself has a DOI/PID, but all samples within
the reliquary can be found, referenced and cited so that the collector of the sample, the curator of the sample and the funder of any part of the samples life cycle (including from the field to the museum/sample repository) can be credited and both funders
and researchers can measure the use and impact of their research <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think we are talking about the same thing. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have quite a community behind this Complex Citation WG (see list at end of case statement) and it would be great if someone would be prepared to drive this use case for physical samples who is actively working on sample collection and/or
preservation. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please let me know if you or anyone else would like to work on this samples use case with this newly formed RDA group for Complex Citation. Currently I am listed against the Geophysics, Geochemistry and Samples use cases and I don’t have
the bandwidth to do all three!!!<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black">I'd like to think about building a tool to generate, store, and create DOIs for specimen lists instead. Lists would consist of only the most basic sample and ownership information (something
like the DOI of the related publication plus the original sample identifiers, sample GUIDs, and owner information.) Where GUIDs with appropriate metadata are available (like at least some implementation of IGSNs), ownership information could be pulled in and
updated. Since the data would all be in one place and linked to but not formally associated with a publication, it would also be possible to create and search sample lists for already published papers (for example, if an institution that has absorbed a collection
would like to tag previously published papers that include those samples.) As with the current guidance, lists could be linked as references in new papers and the tool could supply a preferred citation to make them easier to find.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

for research collections especially.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
