Arguably out of scope (physical samples are NOT data?)

IGSN International Geo Sample Number (IGSN) "The IGSN is based on the handle system and was developed as an internet of things analogy to DataCite, taking into account the requirements specific to geological samples. These can be individual samples from the field or large collections from scientific drilling, museum collections or government geological survey collections. IGSN works in close cooperation with scientists, geological survey organisations, publishers and research infrastructure providers."

"In geology samples play a very big role and it is crucial to be able to link samples, data derived from samples, and literature interpreting the results. In a project funded by the US National Science Foundation Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University explored assigning persistent identifiers to samples and built prototype web services http://www.geosamples.org. This was later expanded to other institutions and made into an international organisation as the International Geo Sample Number (IGSN). http://www.igsn.org A more detailed description of organisational and technical aspects of the IGSN can be found here: http://dokuwiki.gfz-potsdam.de/datawiki/doku.php?id=igsn:start."

For an example on Tissue samples: From JiscMail research DataMan list 6 March 2013 "you can find several DOIs for tissue samples in the DataCite Metadata Store: http://search.datacite.org/ui?q=tissue+sample You may need to filter a bit more, because some of the search results are clinical studies / reports or not biological samples. I hope you will find what you need!"
