Clarification required on the type of ID used to navigate the omoccurrences #48

Symbiota's omoccurrences table uses its auto_increment occid field as a FK between tables; while Harvard's occid field is in the form of a GUID. Clarification is required on which kind of ID should be used for table navigation.

We will be using the auto_increment occid field for now for simplicity.
