Canonical
The canonical version is the single official form of something - one URL, one name, one record - that all variants and duplicates resolve to.
Canonical means "the one true version". When the same thing can be expressed many ways (aliases, duplicate slugs, alternate URLs), the canonical form is the authoritative one everything else points to.
Choosing a canonical avoids duplicate records and split signals, and on the web a canonical URL tells search engines which page to index.
In GraphCanon
GraphCanon uses a locked, canonical category taxonomy and canonical tool slugs, and emits a canonical URL on every page so duplicate or localized variants consolidate to one.
