Is the unique plate identifier something that can be set at import time? Or
is this generated by OME as an internal unique identifier?

That wasn't the case when I did the import via OMERO.Importer (running on
Windows). I was only asked to specify the project to import into

But it appears that the OME data model differentiates between the plate
label ('H1050234') and plate name ("Plate 2"). Is it possible that under
the plate label I could have multiple plate names? I assume that since the
OME client displays a hierarchy that there is some relationship between the
two (?)
