Hi, I would like to know the best approach to create a Common Information Model. Just to be clear, I've also heard it referred to as a canonical information model, semantic information model, and master data model - As far as I can tell, they are all referring to the same concept. I've heard in the past that a combined "top-down" and "...
I am studying for an exam and I am confused as to how canonical vs. non-canonical input/output works in Unix (e.g., curses). I understand that there is a buffer to which "line disciplines" are applied for canonical input. Does this mean that the buffer is bypassed for non-canonical input, or does it simply mean that no line disciplines...

I need to be able to determine which page the user just came from to determine which links to display, such as breadcrumbs or links to the previous next item.

On a GNU system I would just use readlink -f $SOME_PATH, but Solaris doesn't have readlink. I'd prefer something that works well in bash, but other programs are ok if needed. Edit: The best I've come up with so far uses cd and pwd, but requires some more hackery to deal with files and not just directories. cd -P "$*" REAL_PATH=`pwd` ...
What would be the canonical attribute in an LDAP schema to encode the mother tongue (first language) of a user? Interop with default/existing administration tools for Windows Active Directory would be a big plus. ...
I have a website "mywebsite.com" and I would like to do a 301 redirect of "http://mywebsite.com" to "http://www.mywebsite.com" (for the usual SEO purposes).

Update: I can make this a simpler problem to solve: I want to figure out what the correct regex would be to substitute any single occurrence of a back slash with two back slashes. I want to turn this: vlc.plugin.path = C:\Program Files\JekyllV0.9.2\\VLC_1.0.0\\plugins into: vlc.plugin.path = C:\\Program Files\\JekyllV0.9.2\\VLC_1....

I've seen so many implementations of sending an http post, and admittedly I don't fully understand the underlying details to know what's required. What is the succinct/correct/canonical code to send an HTTP POST in C# .NET 3.5? I want a generic method like public string SendPost(string url, string data) that can be added to a librar...
Say the path of your URL is: /thisisa"quote/helloworld/ Then how do you create the rel=canonical URL? Is this kosher? <link rel="canonical" href="/thisisa&quot;/helloworld/" /> UPDATE To clarify, I'm getting a form submission, I need to convert part of the query string into the URL. So the steps are: .htaccess does the redi...
Google has been pushing its new canonical link feature, I agree it is really useful. Now instead of having a ton of entry points in to an area you can have one entry. I was wondering, does this feature play nice with paging? For example: I have this page which has 8 pages of content, if I specify the canonical of http://community.med...

I decided primarily for SEO reasons to add the "rel" to my action link, but am not sure that the way I have gone about this is going to follow "best practices." I simply created a new Extension method as shown below. Is this the best way to go about doing this? Are there things that should be modified in this approach? VIEW <%= H...
I need to convert a java.util.Date variable to a representation similar to the one below. 1995-12-31T23:59:59.999Z The format for this date field is of the form 1995-12-31T23:59:59Z, and is a more restricted form of the canonical representation of dateTime http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#dateTime The trailing "Z" designates UTC t...
I'm looking for a way of storing graphs as strings. The strings are to be used as keys in a map, so that two topologically identical graphs will map to the same value in the map. Does anybody know of such an algorithm? The nodes of the tree are labeled with duplicate labels being allowed. The program is in java and an implementation in...
Let's say several external sites are scraping/harvesting your content and posting it as their own. Let's also say that you maintain a single unique/permanent URL for each piece of content, so that content aliasing (on your site) is never an issue. Is there any value from an SEO perspective to including a canonical link in your header an...
Does any one know of any Java libraries I could use to generate canonical paths (basically remove back-references). I need something that will do the following: Raw Path -> Canonical Path /../foo/ -> /foo /foo/ -> /foo /../../../ -> / /./foo/./ -> /foo //foo//bar -> /foo/bar //foo/../bar -> /bar etc......
