Allow an existing ReDBox record to be cloned. This primarily assists in 2 use cases:
Easy creation of a similar record based on a different data set (e.g. "Sensor Readings 2010" and " Sensor Readings 2011") that requires only minor edits to the metadata
Easy creation of metadata to describe a new version of the underlying data.
Relationship with DOI and correct tracking of data versions:
A published dataset shouldn't be changed.
Any changes to the data should be provided as a new version, with a new DOI
Data signatures/checksums could help track/alert changes made to the underlying data. See also Reporting and statistics feature
The data storage system should create a read-only copy of the data
