'Where the identification number is associated with the object prior to acquisition by Wellcome, it should be recorded under the Provenance element.'
The opposite is true of how we currently use the alternative number field and provenance fields in CALM (alt number is exclusively for original ref numbers of files, accession number goes under provenance).
I think we could just remove the end section and then leave that decision to the system specific guidance as long as we are explicit about the kind of number?
