Parse records into Omoccuridentifiers table when importing to other portals

[lsteger]

Currently, it does not appear possible to search for NEON specimens/samples in other Symbiota portals using the NEON barcode (other catalog numbers). Ideally, NEON samples/specimens would be searchable in other portals using the NEON barcode. This will be particularly useful for ASUNHC herbarium managers since ASUNHC and NEON vouchers are archived together and the NEON barcode is the main identifier for NEON plant vouchers.

Example: NEON plant voucher NEON02MYF can be found in SEINet when searching by catalog number but it cannot be found when searching by its NEON barcode (B00000002924).

It's because other catalog numbers are published within a DwC-A concatenated within the otherCatalogNumbers field, which by default gets imported into otherCatalogNumbers as a single field value when data is transferred into another portal. Identifiers are not parsed out into the omoccuridentifiers table upon import. This is something that still needs to be done, but not considered a high priority.
