Objects

If you wish to reference a specific sample, measurement or simulation in an instance of SampleDB, you can use its URL, e.g. https://iffsamples.fz-juelich.de/objects/0. Bear in mind, however, that users need to be signed in even to view public objects.

An alternative to this would be to publish the information using Dataverse or uploading the information to a service such as zenodo.
