ICP Open Source database

[grenife]

Hi everyone,
I believe the community would really benefit from an open source database for ICP test results that (in time) could be used to explain the occurrence of problems using machine learning tools. Does anyone know whether this has been done before? I know Fauna Marin claims they are doing it, but of course the data they collect is theirs and why should they make it publicly available. But if we would all upload our ICPs somewhere, this could really come in handy. Looking forward to your comments!

I'd like to see this done with eDNA testing. It is really difficult to analyze a single, standalone eDNA report. Reports over time and those compared to other tanks give more insight.

excellent idea. Will of course be more difficult to interpret than let's say a large number of ICPs on trace elements.
