op-topic-map-compare

Type(s): Issue

Description
- Should we define an equality criterion for topic map items? There is no need for duplicate removal for topic maps, but on the other hand that would be what is needed to define the conformance requirements on serialization implementations.
Opinion
- we could leave this one to be addressed by the conformance activity? - Scope: Graham Moore
Resolution
- An equality comparison will be defined for use in the conformance definition.
