Abstract

The volcanological community manages heterogeneous types of data acquired during research projects and monitoring activities of volcanoes. These data consist of both continuous and discrete measurements and observations, which are carried out by ground-based networks and remote sensing instruments, or during field surveys and laboratory analyses. Many types of volcanological research are largely based on the accurate sampling of rocks erupted during past and ongoing volcanic activity. Each sample represents a "physical object" which should be identified and archived before part of it is removed for analytical purposes. In this context, we recommend assigning the collected samples unique and persistent identifiers, such as the International Generic Sample Number (IGSN). However, although the IGSN allows recording the most essential information of the collected samples (e.g. geographic location, sampling method, and collector), the predefined metadata fields are not exhaustive for volcanic samples, which require additional information such as type and timing of the eruptive event, sample temperature, and texture. Here we design the guidelines necessary to facilitate communication between and search of multiple sample repositories and databases run by disparate institutions. To this aim, we build a metadata model, which integrate the IGSN metadata with supplementary information necessary for the monitoring and research activities carried out by the volcanological community. The long-term curation of collected materials is an important investment for the future. Indeed, these collections are a resource for the production of volcanological data, they reduce the need for repeated sampling, they preserve samples that can no longer be collected, and they allow repeat analyses to be made. The primary aim of this work, based on discussion within the EUROVOLC project, is to provide the basic information for populating a relational database structure in the future for the description of different volcanic samples, physically located in different physical repositories and institutions, in order to facilitate future sharing between different groups of scientists and more complete volcanological studies, by means of the proposed metadata structure.

火山样本库的指南和元数据模型。
火山学界管理在火山研究项目和监测活动期间获得的各种不同类型的数据。这些数据包括连续和离散的测量和观测,由地面网络和遥感仪器进行,或在实地调查和实验室分析期间进行。许多类型的火山学研究在很大程度上是基于对过去和正在进行的火山活动中喷发的岩石的精确采样。每个样品代表一个“物理对象”,在其部分被移除用于分析之前,应进行识别和存档。在这种情况下,我们建议为收集的样本分配唯一和持久的标识符,例如国际通用样本编号(IGSN)。然而,尽管IGSN允许记录所收集样本的最基本信息(如地理位置、采样方法和收集器),但预定义的元数据字段对于火山样本来说并不详尽,这需要额外的信息,如喷发事件的类型和时间、样本温度和纹理。在这里,我们设计了必要的指导方针,以促进由不同机构运行的多个示例存储库和数据库之间的通信和搜索。为此,我们建立了一个元数据模型,该模型将IGSN元数据与火山学界开展监测和研究活动所需的补充信息相结合。对收集到的材料进行长期的管理是对未来的一项重要投资。的确,这些标本是生产火山学数据的一种资源,它们减少了重复采样的需要,它们保存了不能再收集的样本,并且它们允许重复分析。基于EUROVOLC项目内的讨论,这项工作的主要目的是提供基本信息,以便在未来为描述物理上位于不同物理存储库和机构的不同火山样本提供关系数据库结构,以便通过提议的元数据结构促进未来不同科学家群体之间的共享和更完整的火山学研究。

期刊介绍: Bulletin of Volcanology was founded in 1922, as Bulletin Volcanologique, and is the official journal of the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth’s Interior (IAVCEI). The Bulletin of Volcanology publishes papers on volcanoes, their products, their eruptive behavior, and their hazards. Papers aimed at understanding the deeper structure of volcanoes, and the evolution of magmatic systems using geochemical, petrological, and geophysical techniques are also published. Material is published in four sections: Review Articles; Research Articles; Short Scientific Communications; and a Forum that provides for discussion of controversial issues and for comment and reply on previously published Articles and Communications.
