There are no hard and fast technical "gpg rules" that specify when you should and should not sign someone else's key. If you sign a key when you shouldn't, or if you don't sign a key when you should, the system is not likely to come crashing down. The very worst that can happen is that someone will believe that you have bad key signing judgement and decide to trust you less. The simple explanation is that when you sign someone's key, you are saying that the information attached to the key describes the person who holds the associated secret key. So if the key is associated with the name "Clare Apellido" or just "Clare" and you know that the key belongs to someone with that name, you can go ahead and sign the key. If the key has a photo ID attached, so much the better.
