r the class-of-service requested, and computes the total combined weight for nodes and TGs in each route. After a least-weight route is calculated between two given nodes, the result may be stored to prevent repetition of this calculation in future route selections.

left outer join
A join whose result consists of the matched rows of the two tables that were joined and the unmatched rows of the first table. See also full outer join, join, outer join, right outer join.
A matured product that is near end of life and has a "withdrawal from marketing" date established. There are no plans for new releases or versions or new translations (only fixes), and it is not a candidate for inclusion in any other product offering. However legacy products that are included in other product offerings become components and are subject to the flagship requirements. Legacy products cannot maintain their legacy status if they announce a new version/release or if they are included in another product offering. Legacy products must maintain their existing level of globalization support from the time they enter legacy status until their withdrawal from support. See also flagship product, key product, non-key product.
In a company structure, one or more sub-units that are connected to a group company. A sub-unit may represent a specific geographical area in one consolidation structure, and in a parallel consolidation structure it can be included in a group representing the total of that geographical area.
The normalized or canonical form of a word. Typically, the lemma is the underived and uninflected form of a noun or a verb. For example, the lemma of the terms 'organizing' and 'organized' is 'organize'. See also stem.
A process that identifies the root form and different grammatical forms of a word. For example, a search for mouse also finds documents that contain the word mice, and a search for go also finds documents that contain going, gone, or went.
A technique for compressing data. This technique replaces some character strings, which occur repeatedly within the data, with codes. The encoded character strings are then kept in a common dictionary, which is created as the data is being sent.

less than truckload carrier (LTL carrier)
A trucking operation where the customer pays for part of the truckload. See also full truckload carrier.
- The version of a software application program.
- A set of entities or members that form one section of a hierarchy in a dimension and represent the same type of object. For example, a geographical dimension might contain levels for region, state, and city. See also recursive level.
- A logical state of a keyboard providing access to a collection of graphic characters or elements of graphic characters. Usually these graphic characters or elements of graphic characters logically belong together, such as the lower case, upper case, and alternate case of letters. In certain cases the level selected may also affect function keys (see ISO/IEC 9995-1). See also group, shift.
- A set of one or more related attributes that work together as one logical step in a hierarchy. Attributes can function in one or more roles in a level.
- In a database, the successive vertical dependencies in a hierarchical structure.
- See physical level.
- A sorting comparison in a multilevel sorting algorithm that considers only the base characters, such as the difference between A and B. Accents, punctuation, and case differences are typically ignored. See also alphanumeric weight, level 4, level n.
level 2 (L2)
A sorting comparison in a multilevel sorting algorithm that considers only the accents in characters, such as the difference between a and à. Case differences and punctuation are typically ignored. See also diacritical weight, level 4, level n.
