Abstract: Elie Cartan's general equivalence problem is recast in the language of Lie algebroids. The resulting formalism, being coordinate and model-free, allows for a full geometric interpretation of Cartan's method of equivalence via reduction and prolongation. We show how to construct certain normal forms (Cartan algebroids) for objects of finite-type, and are able to interpret these directly as infinitesimal symmetries deformed by curvature.' Details are developed for transitive structures but rudiments of the theory include intransitive structures (intransitive symmetry deformations). Detailed illustrations include subriemannian contact structures and conformal geometry.
