Abstract
The acquisition and analysis of geochemical data are pervasive in the Earth, environmental, and planetary sciences, but few of these data are FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) or ready to be mined for new knowledge using modern computational methods. The need for global standards and best practices for geochemical data is increasingly urgent so that scientists can better share and analyse geochemical data in a global context. Standard protocols for exchanging geochemical data among distributed data systems, and for making software tools that support the management, publication, and preservation of interoperable geochemical data need to be developed and approved by a global community. Best practices need to be defined for researchers and laboratories to consistently and comprehensively describe samples, data acquisition procedures, and data quality, and these need to be endorsed and promoted. OneGeochemistry is an international initiative which aims to support the development of data standards for geochemical data and approaches for their technical and organisational governance. Initially an informal network with representatives from AuScope (Australia), GEOROC, NFDI4Earth (Germany), EPOS Multi-scale Laboratories (Europe), EarthChem (US) and the Astromaterials Data System (US), OneGeochemistry is now funded as a use case of the WorldFAIR project (https://worldfair-project.eu/) and recognised as a CODATA Working Group (https://codata.org/initiatives/working-groups/) Scientific discovery in many fields will benefit from this global geochemical data network: from the study of global climate change, to present and past biogeochemical cycles, to magmatic processes, to the origin and evolution of our solar system.
