Subject: Re: [xsl] What is a better word for "de-duplication"? From: Steve <subsume@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2006 00:25:08 -0400 |
Its a tough one, especially since you probably need a very technical name. I would prefer 'identity consolidation' before 'factorisation' (cognitive load on the second is higher to me).
From memory, in mathematics taking one element from each class of equivalence is called factorisation using this specific equivalence relation.
So, we may call it "identity factorisation" -- can somebody offer something better?
