streamline?
unify?
reduce?
trim?

None of those quite fits, though.

English has a number of nouns for the basic concept, including "unique" and
"distinct". However, I can't think of (or find online) a verb for that
concept.


FWIW (not much, I suspect)

I want to use a single, short word to express the act of removing
duplicates from a node-set. I remember seing the word "de-duplication"
used, however it sounds ugly.

Could someone suggest a better word, please?
