I have noticed that SDD or should i say UBIF does not ensure that Classname's are unique even in the same Dataset.
A Class can be defined twice with the same Label,Rank,LSID etc etc with different keys of course.
I am in the process of writing some kind of a simplistic SDD editor and this is an issue i am struggling with right now.
Here is a snippet of an example borrowed from Gregor's SDD_tech.xml with a few additions.
<verbatim>
<ClassName key="1">
<Label>
<Representation language="en">
<Text>Cypselurus heterurus (Rafinesque, 1810)</Text>
</Representation>
</Label>
<Link>
<LSID>lsid.gbif.net:www.fishbase.org:1029</LSID>
<URL>http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/SpeciesSummary.cfm?ID=1029</URL>
</Link>
<RankLevel>species</RankLevel>
</ClassName>
<ClassName key="5">
<Label>
<Representation language="en">
<Text>Cypselurus heterurus (Rafinesque, 1810)</Text>
</Representation>
</Label>
<Link>
<LSID>lsid.gbif.net:www.fishbase.org:1029</LSID>
<URL>http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/SpeciesSummary.cfm?ID=1029</URL>
</Link>
<RankLevel>species</RankLevel>
</ClassName>
</verbatim>

Thanks for pointing this out. What do you propose? I would think, requiring the label to be unique for each language should be sufficient. Of course, really the different linking IDs should be unique as well, but that is a bit still under development and discussion.

I have added language specific uniqueness constraints and close the topic. Many thanks!
