Overview

Determinations are opinions on what Specify::Model::Taxon a Specify::Model::CollectionObject represents.

A Determination belongs to a Specify::Model::CollectionObject (collection_object).

A Specify::Model::CollectionObject can have multiple determinations, only one of which can be the current determination.

A Determination can belong to a Specify::Model::Taxon. If that taxon is a synonym of another taxon, the Determination will also belong to the accepted Taxon as the preferred_taxon.
