Description

This session provides methods to re-assign Results to Catalogues. A Result may map to multiple Catalogues and removing the last reference to a Result is the equivalent of deleting it. Each Catalogue may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to operate on it.

Adding a reference of a Result to another Catalogue is not a copy operation (eg: does not change its Id).
