[kepler-dev] Duplications of actors when searching the actor tree

[Jianting Zhang]

Ok, here is what I found: 

If I change the value of <rdfs:label> with the value of rdf:ID in
"<owl:Class>", then the searching works as expected. More specifically,
actors that have multiple roles appear multiple times and actors that have
single role appear just once. 

By changing the value of <rdfs:label> to the value of rdf:ID, it becomes
unique. I guess the problem happened because "GIS" was used at the labels
for multiple concepts. I suspect matching based on rdf:ID instead of
rdfs:label will solve the problem. 

Thanks for helping

I have no idea, you'll have to ask the ontology creator ;)
