Sketches such as this:

Create the impression that we are dealing with simple, solitary digital objects

Actually, research data objects are „complex objects“ (OAI-ORE)

Now add versioning, people, (physical) samples etc. etc. to the „Simple Case“

Result:

A plethora of objects per research data set!i.e.: a complex (yet fixed!) object

In different formats, under different control, ...i.e.: in different repositories

Each with a distinct timeline (no circles or cycles!)

And then: Reliable and stable bidirectional linkages

between all these elements
