umbrella issue related to linking sets of images

At the 2021-12-15 Audubon Core Maintenance Group call, we spent a significant amount of time discussing the issue of how one should designate that a particular set of images were linked to each other. The proximate context was sets of images from camera traps ("sequences" = bursts that are grouped together because they occurred within the same 120 seconds), but there are other use cases. For example: images of the same specimen, label images that should be linked to images the specimens themselves (#200), slices of a 3D CT scan, etc.

This is also related to the issue raised at gbif/portal16#1570 (comment), which involves the problem of linking related images in IIIF manifests.

This is probably an issue that needs to be addressed if we revise the Structure document as we discussed as a possible priority for 2022. That needs to happen anyway now that the ROI proposal is complete.

The FishAIR project has another use case for sequences of processed images used in machine learning: raw image, image with bounding box, segmented image, and feature extraction images.
