Research direction

Start by locating the odML-to-RDF export entry point and tracing how IDs are assigned when native IDs are absent. Reproduce exporting the same file twice and merging both results into one RDF graph; done means the second export does not create duplicate entities.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

RDF

Currently when odml files without native ids are exported to RDF, all entities (sections, properties, etc.) are assigned with newly created ids.
This can lead to duplicates, if the same file gets re-exported from odml to RDF and merged into a common RDF graph containing the first export of this file.
