In its many meanings, a Canon is about a group of rules, prescriptions or precepts of some kins of discipline mostly used for religious oeuvres but also it is used to denote something that has set the proper rules to do something , the "state of art" or an standard due to its perfection. Like saying that Beethoven's symphonies are Canonical for the art of Symphonic composition.
