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.
