Joe,
That's why UID needs to be part of the semantics to ensure
a single static reference. Of course internally we're also
assigning UUID, but the UID is easier to verify, and also
provides the ability to cross-walk associations by searching.
"Show me all the entries that reference UID="ABC123456";
et al.
Thanks, DW.

I'm also not sure if this name changes over time or if it is fixed once
defined. Maybe somebody with more CCTS experience can clarify that.

Since the Dictionary Entry Name is comprised of the individual ISO/IEC
11179 data element terms (Object Class, Property Term, Representation
Term, plus Qualifiers), it should not be static. Users may certainly
have a need to change the name of (for example) an Object Class, which
should propagate to the Dictionary Entry Name.
