Topic map creators must accept responsibility for the fully
merged topic map graphs represented by the interchangeable topic maps
that they create, even when their interchangeable topic maps incorporate
topic maps that were created by others. When interchangeable topic maps
incorporate other topic maps by reference, they must also contain (or
incorporate by reference) subjects and assertions that cause the merging
process to yield a satisfactory result in which no two nodes have the
same subject, even when, in the absence of any special arrangements made
by the creator of the topic map, no governing TM Application would cause
the two nodes to merge. It is the responsibility of topic map creators
to make such special arrangements, by adding assertions that will cause
the nodes that must be merged to have SIDP values that will be
recognized as requiring their merger. (See parid0463 7.4.)
