Aliases in ICAT definition field instead of acronyms?
One "alias" could refer to a combination of PaNET ids: !11 (merged)
For example alias="XFCT"` could refer to PaNET01096+PaNET01012 or PaNET01177+PaNET01129 or any combination that we see fit.
In that case XFCT won't be in ICAT and therefore is not searchable because definition contains the acronyms of the techniques (definition="XRF CT", technique_pid="PaNET01177 PaNET01129").
So perhaps the "definition" field in ICAT should contain aliases and not acronyms. But this also means the data portal backend needs more than just the ontology, it needs to understand the aliases as well.
In HDF5 we currently do not save aliases either.
