Platform Integration: Linking Samples, Experiments, and Analysis#
At the core of the platform is the IGSN (International Geo Sample Number).
It serves as the central identifier linking all layers of data:
Workflow Overview#
Sample Registration
Each physical sample receives an IGSN.
Experiment Run + Metadata
Laser shock experiments are logged using the JSON Schema, either manually or automatically.
Metadata is tied to the IGSN and can be queried/exported.
PDV Trace Ingestion
The laser shock systems produces raw PDV traces and other data artefacts, all streamed instantly using openmsistream to the portal.
ALPSS Processing
In parallel, ALPSS Processor consumes PDV traces from a stream using openmsistream in real-time.
Outputs and configs are uploaded to the portal and automatically linked back to the IGSN.
Data Accessibility
Results can be searched by sample, experiment conditions, or ALPSS parameters.
Exportable in standard formats (CSV/Excel).
Integration Diagram#

This integration ensures that from a single IGSN, one can navigate:
The raw sample and flyer details
The experimental metadata
The PDV trace
The processed results and figures
The exact ALPSS configuration used
