external id

external identifier
|
||
|
external identifiers
|
||
|
string identifier stored in ``ir.model.data``, can be used to refer
|
||
|
to a record regardless of its database identifier during data imports
|
||
|
or export/import roundtrips.
|
||
|
|
||
|
External identifiers are in the form :samp:`{module}.{id}` (e.g.
|
||
|
``account.invoice_graph``). From within a module, the
|
||
|
:samp:`{module}.` prefix can be left out.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Sometimes referred to as "xml id" or ``xml_id`` as XML-based
|
||
|
:ref:`reference/data` make extensive use of them.
|
||
|
|
||
|
format string
|
||
|
inspired by `jinja variables`_, format strings allow more easily
|
||
|
mixing literal content and computed content (expressions): content
|
||
|
between ``{{`` and ``}}`` is interpreted as an expression and
|
||
|
evaluated, other content is interpreted as literal strings and
|
||
|
displayed as-is

GIS
|
||
|
Geographic Information System
|
||
|
any computer system or subsystem to capture, store, manipulate,
|
||
|
analyze, manage or present spatial and geographical data.

|
minification
|
||
|
process of removing extraneous/non-necessary sections of files
|
||
|
(comments, whitespace) and possibly recompiling them using equivalent
|
||
|
but shorter structures (`ternary operator`_ instead of ``if/else``) in
|
||
|
order to reduce network traffic
