Figure 3. Options for assigning IDs to sets or chains of highly related samples and subsamples. There is uncertainty among domain scientists about whether to assign new PIDs to subsamples. Based on our pilot test feedback, options 2 and 3 are most efficient for soil cores and water samples, respectively. Relationship metadata can be inferred from the type of ID (e.g., collection or site ID) and the order of Parent IGSNs, and assists machine reconstruction of the sampling hierarchy from original feature or sample through subsequent child samples.
