Hi all,

My question may have not been very clear (thanks to Gabriel for
pointing out), so I try to explain it further. :)

1. There is a topic A with the subject identifier
   "http://test.org/foo". Now a topic name with the item identifier
   (source locator) "http://test.org/foo" is added to the topic map.

   The existence of the subject identifier AND item identifier
   "http://test.org/foo" has no special meaning in TMDM?
   (In XTM 1.0 this would make the topic A reifying the topic name).
   

2. There is a topic B with the subject identifier
   "http://test.org/bar". Now a *topic* C with the item identifier
   (source locator) "http://test.org/bar" is added to the topic map.

   The existence of the subject identifier AND item identifier
   "http://test.org/bar" has no special meaning in TMDM?
   (In XTM 1.0 topic B and C have to be merged).


Best regards,
Lars
