**Submitter**: The only status available for this role are `PREPARATION` and `CURATION`. As long as the registration with the scientific name and type designations is being edited and modified by the submitter, the registration is in `PREPARATION`. Once the editing process is completed. The submitter will set the status to `CURATION` in order to pass the data set to the curatorial process. The curator is now responsible for further state changes.

**Curator**: For curators all status are available but the selection of the available status is limited to guarantee a directed and clear workflow. 

Only states which make sense for the next step in the workflow are allowed.

The possible transitions are:

| Current status | Next allowed status                        | 

| -------------- | ------------------------------------------ |

| PREPARATION    | CURATION                                   |

| CURATION       | PREPARATION, READY                         |

| READY          | PUBLISHED, REJECTED                        |

| PUBLISHED      |                                            |

| REJECTED       |                                            |
