DESCRIPTION:From its origins as the International Geo Sample Number over tw
 o decades ago\, IGSN has evolved into a widely recognised persistent ident
 ifier for physical objects. Now known as the International Generic Sample 
 Number\, it assigns unique\, persistent identifiers to physical samples ac
 ross disciplines—from geoscience to archaeology and materials science. M
 anaged by IGSN e.V. and strengthened through a strategic partnership with 
 DataCite\, IGSN has grown rapidly\, surpassing 14.8 million registered sam
 ples by February 2026.\n\nToday\, IGSN is evolving to meet modern research
  needs. It will integrate into the global PID Graph\, linking with identif
 iers like ORCID and ROR to enhance data connectivity and machine readabili
 ty. At the same time\, efforts to align IGSN with international standards 
 and ontologies are improving interoperability across disciplines. Together
 \, these advances position IGSN as a vital backbone for FAIR\, connected\,
  and future-ready scientific data ecosystems worldwide.
