Change identifier of an existing topic
brettkromkamp opened this issue · comments
Currently, topic identifiers -once created- are constant and cannot be changed. Nonetheless, from an ontology-management point of view, being able to change a topic's identifier is sometimes necessary.
Changing a topic identifier will first require checking that the new identifier does not exist.
Changing a topic identifier is potentially a risky operation taking into account the central role that topic identifiers have in Contextualise/TopicDB.
This change will impact both Contextualise (obviously) but also TopicDB as the topic store will have to provide the underlying mechanism to actually change the identifier of an existing topic.
Done!
