Summary: OAI records contain all subjects in a single field

Initial Comment:
In the OAI records, each <dc:subject> field contains many keywords, separated by commas, like this:

<dc:subject>
Ascomycota, Pezizomycotina, Dothideomyceta, fungal evolution, lichens, multigene phylogeny, phylogenomics, plant pathogens, saprobes, Tree of Life
</dc:subject>

It is best practice to put each keyword into a separate <dc:subject> field. This allows harvesting systems (like Dryad) to accurately separate the keywords, and not worry about keywords that may contain commas.
