Prominently indicate when a data package is essentially a duplicate of an external version #2541

MetacatUI currently doesn't clearly distinguish between duplicate datasets that have been copied to ADC from an external source. This can lead to confusion, especially when both the original and derived datasets have different DOIs but are essentially the same. NSIDC and other data centers are concerned that differing citations can impact usage metrics and funding. The goal is to make it easier for users to identify the original dataset by displaying it prominently when it exists. This way, users can easily reference and credit the original source, helping to avoid issues with misrepresentation and citation confusion.

Test dataset with wasDerivedFrom and sameAs annotations both with the same DOI url as the value: https://demo.arcticdata.io/view/urn%3Auuid%3Aea3f0ce4-a084-47b7-ae60-7cbe808c57a0
