The Astromaterials Data System: Enabling Open and FAIR Astromaterials Samples Data [#6518]
The Astromaterials Data System is funded by NASA to curate, archive, and publish data generated by the analysis of astromaterial samples collected by NASA missions. Astromat’s services enable FAIR data in compliance with NASA and publishers policies.

The Future of Cosmochemical Databases: MetBase and the Astromaterials Data System (ASTROMAT) Started a Common Future [#6409]
MetBase and Astromaterials are two of the largest meteorite and planetary materials databases worldwide. We started a project that will in its first part align MetBase with Astromaterials, and in the second part merge MetBase with Astromaterials.
