Description: In DwC, species occurrences such as specimens can have multiple identification/determinations. These are described using the Darwin Core Identification History Extension: http://rs.gbif.org/extension/dwc/identification.xml
We should index these multiple identifications. If so, we wouldn't have to produce multiple occurrence records from a single ABCD unit any longer - see POR-1728.
Obviously this is a large change, since it would not only require a change to our occurrence parsers, but API model object, portal pages, and download objects.
Currently, the [Occurrence model|https://github.com/gbif/gbif-api/blob/master/src/main/java/org/gbif/api/model/occurrence/Occurrence.java] object already supports the following extensions:
// interpreted extension data
private List identifiers = Lists.newArrayList();
http://rs.gbif.org/extension/gbif/1.0/identifier.xml
private List media = Lists.newArrayList();
http://rs.gbif.org/extension/gbif/1.0/images.xml
http://rs.gbif.org/extension/gbif/1.0/multimedia.xml
private List facts = Lists.newArrayList();
http://rs.gbif.org/extension/dwc/measurements_or_facts.xml
private List relations = Lists.newArrayList();
