Hi Himar,
If classes are moved to a different parent, it will trigger an ID change too because it will inevitably mean a change of the definition.
Do you mean it triggers an ID change to the parent, or to the child, or both?
The child. In an ontology, a class' definition is (or at least ought to be) independent of its children.
However, a class being moved to another parent might be triggered by the definition of that new parent having changed. In that case, obviously both IDs would change.
