Property ID uniqueness

[Raphaël Jean <raphael.jean@entropysoft.net>]

Section 2.1.3.3.2 of the spec states that the Property ID “uniquely identifies the property in the repository.  If two Object-Types each contain property definitions with the same ID, those property definitions are the same.”

But some standard CMIS properties, such as cmis:name, are defined on all Object-Type hierarchies (document, folder, policy, relationship). Now, on many systems, the property definition of cmis:name for example, will differ for folder, document and other types: localName/localNamespace, maxLength, etc. will be different.

 

Shouldn’t the uniqueness scope of a Property ID be a single Object-Type hierarchy instead?
