Nope.

It's unneccessary to move those over.

The authoritative data is stored in the author
's home directory in the .db files
nohist_resevaldata.db
and
nohist_accesscount.db

These db files are the ones read from when accessing the .meta file of
a resource when browsing around.

In the res space browsing data is read from themysql database cache of
this information which is updated by the bi-nightly run of
searchcat.pl that reindex the metadata.
