One of our contractors pointed out that MaterialCitation relates to specimens. They quote: "a citation of a physical specimen from a scientific collection in a taxonomic treatment in a scientific publication".
Could we link those as well?

I think the occurrences with the material sample basis of records can be considered specimens (https://discourse.gbif.org/t/we-changed-the-way-we-link-occurrences-to-grscicoll/4147). Especially if the samples are stored (essentially physical collections). Plus, it would be valuable to have DNA-based records linked to GRSciColl entries.
Could we link the occurrences with the basis of records: Preserved Specimen, Fossil Specimen, Living Specimen, Material Sample to GRSciColl?
Thanks!
