Zenodo deposition for iSamples query substrate — 202601 snapshot

[rdhyee]

Context

Plan file at the iSamples monorepo root: ZENODO_DEPOSITION_PLAN.md. Drafts a one-deposition-per-snapshot structure for archiving the query substrate to Zenodo — roughly 1.52 GB across 10 files for the 202601 snapshot.

Currently these files live on Cloudflare R2 (pub-a18234d962364c22a50c787b7ca09fa5.r2.dev). Zenodo gives us DOI-citable, versioned, long-term-archival storage for grant deliverables and reproducibility of the June 2026 keynote / workshop materials.

Credentials

Zenodo API key is durably stored at op://Automations/Zenodo API Key 2025.04.24/credential (verified working).

Scope

• Narrow parquet (106M rows, ~844 MB)
• Wide parquet (20M rows, ~282 MB)
• samples_map_lite.parquet (for Explorer)
• H3 tier parquets
• README + schema docs
• Total ~1.52 GB, 10 files

Open decisions (5)

• Creator list + ORCIDs — who's listed as creator? Raymond, Hana, Stephen, Kerstin, Bill, Dave? ORCIDs for each.
• License — CC-BY-4.0 recommended; verify compatibility with source data licenses (OpenContext, SESAR, GEOME, Smithsonian)
• Narrow-snapshot label mismatch — narrow file is dated 2025-12-12 (zenodo_narrow_2025-12-12.parquet, labeled 202512); wide is 2026-01-09 (202601). Do we rename, re-snapshot, or annotate?
• Stale draft handling — prior Zenodo drafts from earlier iSamples work: delete, supersede, or ignore?
• isDerivedFrom phrasing — how to express upstream provenance (source collection DOIs where available) in Zenodo metadata

Acceptance

• Deposition published with DOI (or reserved DOI, if we want to land site changes against it first)
• Landing page on isamplesorg.github.io cites the DOI as canonical archival location
• R2 URLs remain the live access path; Zenodo is the archival mirror
