IsoMemo: a Big Data initiative bringing together isotopic data from archaeology, ecology, and environmental & life sciences
Note: The current website is temporary and was established for feedback purposes. A new IsoMemo website to be released in early 2022.
Isotopic tracers are used across a variety of research fields to provide a rich diversity of scientific information, but lack of centralized storage limits efficient data use.
IsoMemo is NOT a database. The IsoMemo initiative brings together independent repositories of isotopic data within the fields of archaeology, ecology, and environmental & life sciences. The goals of the initiative are to make isotopic data easily findable and accessible so that it can be easily reused for research purposes. IsoMemo also promotes the creation of data standards and interoperability with other types.
Within IsoMemo each independent database self-manages and curates their data and defines metadata requirements. However, the initiative also promotes the creation of networks linking different databases.
