Body parts are PM files relating to some parts of a fragmented body. It is possible to create a PM body part including several parts of a body, if it is unquestionable that all these parts belong to the same dead body.
Different body parts of a fragmented body may come from different agencies. The best practice is to create a separate PM file for each body part (as it allows unambiguous ownership of data) and then carry out a reconciliation process to reunite all parts of the body.

A PUI file can only be linked to one single Disaster Container.
Unlike files created directly in a Disaster Container, files linked to a Disaster Container are created in MPUB.
This means that the country that created these files keep the ownership of these files. They are made available through the Disaster Container and the rules applicable in Disaster Containers apply (they can be read, edited, matched against by all members of the Disaster Container). When the Disaster Container is closed, the owning country retrieves full ownership on these files.
This is important for PUI files, as PUI files created in Disaster Containers are then kept by the country where the disaster occurred.
