How are the access rights to a digital specimen defined? Concerning gifts, exchanges and other changes in curatorial responsibility regarding the specimen, these could all be defined as 'annotations' updating the curatorial status.

Also, what sould/could be counted as an interpretation, and what just adding new data about a specimen? Should they be done in a different manner? I think there’s a gray area in between, like “adding data based on collectors’ notebook entry”. Can that be a transaction?
