Next: Using the Catalog Features
Up: The Arboreal Catalog System
Previous: Semantics of Abstract URIs
The catalog also allows URI prefixes to be mapped -- in this
case, the portion of the abstract URI that is specified in the catalog
will be replaced with the value specified in the catalog.
Example 1: The catalog maps TestData/ to
- http://archimedes.fas.harvard.edu/samples/
The abstract URIs TestData/1.jpg and TestData/2.jpg
will then be translated as:
- http://archimedes.fas.harvard.edu/samples/1.jpg
- http://archimedes.fas.harvard.edu/samples/2.jpg
Prefix mapping allows an entire range of mappings to be specified with
a single catalog entry.
