Two associations are consider to be duplicates if they are both in the same topic map, have the same type, scope and number of role players and if for each role in one of the associations, there is a role in the other association with the same role type and role player.
Duplicate associations are managed by moving all source locators from the duplicate association to the association that it duplicates and then removing the duplicate association.
