canonicalURI

canonicalURI

The canonicalURI let's you indicate either a URL or a keyword to use as the "canonical link" of the document is. Search engines, like Google, can make use of this information to help determine which version of document is authoritative.

Following keywords automatically generate a corresponding URL. However, you are free to include your own URL.

Keyword	Generated URL
"edDraft"	Use the edDraftURI as the canonical URL.
"TR"	Use the "TR" location for this document, using the shortName.

Example of usage

The following will result in a canonical URL of https://www.w3.org/TR/fooAPI.

const respecConfig = {
  "shortName": "fooAPI",
  "canonicalURI": "TR",
}
