Participate

OneGeochemistry is an initiative for the community by the community. The OneGeochemistry initiative is a voluntary effort supported by a part time funded coordinator and relies on the involvement of the community: your involvement.

OneGeochemistry aims to become an organisation that coordinates across all geo- and cosmochemical data types, both supporting existing community standards as well as facilitating the development of new ones where needed.

Ways to get involved

Involvement has many forms. We are always keen to hear your ideas, comments and feedback on the initiative. If you have more time to contribute, consider becoming an ambassador, joining or starting an expert committee to help with the development of digital best practices. Just want to keep informed? Then join the Slack channel and/or email list.

For general enquiries, comments and suggestions contact onegeochemistry@codata.org.

Newsletter

Join our Slack channel for ad-hoc updates and requests from the organisation, it is an open platform where you can share ideas and suggestions. This is the place for low latency messaging and rapid sharing of resources.

Meet us at the next Conference

OneGeochemistry is represented at most of the major, international geoscience and geochemistry conferences. Find out more about the initiative and meet the current members: it is easy to get in touch with any of us there, please come over for a chat about the initiative. See the conference calendar below for upcoming events.

Become a OneGeochemistry Ambassador

Ambassadors are envisaged as early to mid-career researchers that promote good data management following current best practices and standards. Assisted by the OneGeochemistry board members, ambassadors will spread awareness in the communities of the importance of data management in geo- and cosmochemistry, the existing landscape of data systems, and inspire new and future generations to contribute.

Get in touch at onegeochemistry@codata.org if you are interested or want to find out more.

Expert Committees

Multiple best practices and recommendations for specific data types, analytical techniques or sub-disciplines have already been defined (see Best Practices). The larger the size of the community that agrees and commits to a particular standard, the larger the community that can share and reuse data, particularly in machine-to-machine environments. OneGeochemistry provides the framework and support to harmonise and curate these existing standards through expert committees.

The task of these expert committees would be to compile and further develop standards for each distinct analytical technique or related groups of analytical methods. We suggest two types of committees:

Scientific expert committees: A group of geochemistry experts who review, harmonise and aggregate existing best practices for a specific geochemical data type and/or methodology (e.g. metadata profiles, vocabularies).

Technical expert committee: A group of information technology experts who implement the recommended best practices in machine-readable format.
