Oh the '11000' is just an id I made up for completing the XML document. 
However it comes from some other part of document 2 which I havent shown 
in the post (to avoid lengthy chunks of code).

The id's differ in doc 1 and doc 2 simply because the sources of 
information are different. Information on Pain has been constructed 
using two separate and independent modelling techniques. What I want to 
achieve is to identify the similarities and differences in the 
representation of Pain in the two models (which is why I need them to be 
simplified before performing any sort of comparison).

Obtaining the ids is not the ultimate goal. However they can be used for 
easing the process of looking up specific concepts in document 2. Since 
the format in which I obtain document 2 is entirely different from 
document 1, I'd like to reduce it to a sort-of canonical form to make 
easy the process of comparison.

Does this answer your query?

Thanks
