5. The computer readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the request and the response are routed through the first router.
1. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the computer for aliasing data objects in a named data network, the named data network including a plurality of routers for routing the data objects across the named data network, wherein at least a first one of the data objects is associated with at least a first alias, the program of instructions, when executing, performing the following steps: detecting by a first one of the routers a content of at least one named data object request for the first data object and a content of at least one response to the named data object request, wherein the content of the at least one request comprises a name and the content of the at least one response comprises a semantic representation of the name; and implicitly learning by the first router the first alias based at least in part upon the detected content of at least one of the request and the response; wherein the implicitly learning is based upon a query normalization associated with the detected content; wherein the query normalization normalizes different types of queries into standard data names; and wherein the standard data names are specified by a naming structure utilized by the plurality of routers of the named data network.
