'same collection as' for UAM:Herb (3486 cases): this is an error on my part. I should have used 'same lot as'. The intention was to link a specimen at UAM with a duplicate (same Record Number) at another institution. I will fix this.
As an aside, maybe we need a new 'same record number as' option? While 'same lot as' is correct ("individuals of the same taxon sharing the same collecting event"), it fails to capture the important and common relationship (for plants) that specimen A @ inst. X and specimen B @ inst. Y are 'duplicate' collections, and share the same dwc:RecordNumber. 'same record number as' would be a subproperty of 'same lot as'.
@camwebb I've been wondering how plant collections deal with multiple herbarium sheets taken from the same plant and same collecting event but shared among different institutions. Is that what you are using "same record number as"? We've been using same lot as or same individaul as for similar situations. The latter would be used if parts of the same individual are distributed across collections or institutions, or in some cases, if the same individual was cataloged in both places but physically resides only in one. From a genomics perspective, it seems important to clarify when duplicate records reflect mulitple samples of the same individual. Otherwise, researchers may not realize these are not independent samples, and may include duplicates in loan requests to different institutions without realizing they are not sequencing unique individuals.

Add Same Record As to Relationship options?
