Ensure 1:1 relation between digital and physical specimen

[huberrob]

Hi @hardistyar,

First, thanks for proposing this interesting concept! Maybe you can help me to understand how you make sure that a digital and its physical counterpart are permanently connected. I understand that 'A Digital Specimen has a one-to-one relation with a physical specimen ' as you state in the FAQs but I cannot see how you ensure this in the data model.

I think this is somehow related to the concept of a digital representation of an instrument see: https://github.com/rdawg-pidinst where we have a yet unsolved discussion on how to link e.g. physical instruments with a digital record. See rdawg-pidinst/schema#15

Hi @huberrob, I've made an explanation here: rdawg-pidinst/schema#15 (comment). I hope it helps. If it raises new questions, please let me know.
