Transform into a canonical form. One first define an equivalence relation between a set of similar elements (XML documents in this case) then a unique representation per class of similar documents. The canonalization is then the operation to transform the element to the unique representation of the class of documents it pertains to. Transformer en une forme canonique. On commence par definir une relation d'equivalence pour en ensemble d'element similaires (des documents XMLs dans ce cas) puis on definit une representation unique pour cette classe d'elements. La canonalisation est alors l'operation visant a transformer tout elements vers le prepresentant de la classe d'element auquel il appartient.
