Diagram depicting linkages between ECL (https://doi.org/10.26022/IEDA/112300) and SESAR. (a) During dataset submission, authors are provided with a dedicated PID metadata field to provide sample PIDs. Once the dataset is submitted, the system verifies and hyperlinks the PIDs (in this case IGSN IDs). (b) Linked IGSN IDs lead to a permanent, publicly available metadata “landing page.” For the sample shown, additional subsample (“child”) IGSN IDs have been registered and are linked. The IGSN ID registrant has provided the DOI for the dataset shown in (a) in a dedicated metadata field for related URLs or DOIs. (c) A “child” subsample metadata record links back to the “parent” sample IGSN ID (b) and to other subsamples (“siblings”). The IGSN ID registrant has manually provided the DOI for the dataset shown in (a).
