!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is defined in [RFC 5988] as an [IANA Registry] which can be found at: [Link Relations|https://www.iana.org/assignments/link-relations/link-relations.xhtml|target=_blank]
[{$pagename}] in the simplest case identifies the semantics of a link. For example, a link with the relation type "copyright" indicates that the current link context has a copyright resource at the link target.
[{$pagename}] can also be used to indicate that the [Target Resource] has particular [attributes], or exhibits particular behaviours; for example, a "[service]" link implies that the link target can be used as part of a defined protocol (in this case, a service description).
Links and operations are consumed by machines who understand their meaning because they are standardized. These names are usually defined in human readable documentation, such as the one accompanying the [API], the [IANA Registry] [Link Relations|https://www.iana.org/assignments/link-relations/link-relations.xhtml|target=_blank] or [schema.org].
As the usage of [schema.org] increases through it being the agreed upon vocabulary for the [Structured data] initiatives of [Google], [Microsoft], [Yahoo] and [Yandex] for their search engines, its usage is surely going to increase for [APIs] as well. With a few standardized vocabularies and a few standardized [hypermedia] formats supporting them (such as [Hydra]), clients can stop being unique snowflakes coupled to specific [APIs] and instead move in the direction of generality and re-usability.
