The computer science is a wheel that rarely fails to be round, but that is disguised with multiple layers.
For years it has identified the components for a specific route, as well as multiple systems are organized hierarchies to organize them.
These same levels indicated unequivocally locate a component such as for example the host file on a windows system located at:
\System32\Drivers\Etc
Each of these parameters adds value and allows you to organize the system.
It also represented a way to locate that file.
Looking for something more powerful systems, symbolic links can get with both Unix and Windows NTFS partitions different ways to access that file.
This structure disappears as strict with the format of databases, where to locate the contents are no longer so important route, but rather the fields you are looking for.
For example:
/earth/animals/domestic/dog/podle
His categorization would be:
Planet / Live / Type Animal / Pets / Dog Type
Doing a query with these words surely you access the content, then it is no longer so important route.
But as I passed, we return to the same wheel when what use is a URL.
Role again the route.
Even with a system of meta tags, is ultimately transcendent path content.
Some time ago I had a dream, to categorize routes due to meta tags.
I invite you to see what he wanted in his day.
Brqx dream: automated document taxonomies Traceability.
Today it is now possible.
It is more important that this idea will go directly into the core of Drupal is version 7.
All this information allows us to categorized keep track of the components of our site, and in turn provide an outstanding documentary value in order to promote policies of positioning.
If the ability to trace routes combined with the functionality similar content abstraction own Drupal with mod_rewrite increases well the documentary value of our site.
These parameters and traceability were found and explained in one of my first websites:
It has certainly been one of my obsessions and my best architectural contributions to each and every one of the sites implemented.
Therefore to properly define the path and name of the contents with modules like pathauto , token and auto_nodetitle is a work of great importance for any architectural approach Drupal.
