Shipping module

The purpose of this module is to manage samples in transit between source and destination, for both receiving samples and re-distributing them to authorized recipients. Shipping is integrated with the BIMS' sample chain of custody and storage inventory. The OpenSpecimen Project has a well-defined shipping module that was developed in JAVA for application at the National Cancer Institute. This module will be integrated in the Bika Health software. The data model for sample representation will be based on MIABIS and we will integrate ethics and regulations from WP1.
