Raw API documentation is not sufficient for people to learn the working principles of the API, especially when they already know the old one. And some things have changed since the opendays so the presentations don't reflect the current state of affairs. Closes #3483

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.

minified
|
|
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
