!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] ([RFC 8288] which obsoleted [RFC 5988]) define a means of indicating the [relationships] between [resources] on the [Web], as well as indicating the type of those [relationships], has been available for some time in [HTML] [W3C.REC-html401-19991224], and more recently in [Atom] [RFC 4287].
These mechanisms, although conceptually similar, are separately specified. However, links between resources need not be format specific; it can be useful to have typed links that are independent of their serialization, especially when a resource has representations in multiple formats.
To this end, [RFC 8288] defines a [framework] for typed links that isn't specific to a particular serialization or application. [RFC 8288] does so by redefining the link relation established by [Atom] to have a broader domain, and adding to it the relations that are defined by [HTML].
Furthermore, an [HTTP Header Field] for conveying typed links was defined in Section 19.6.2.4 of [RFC 2068], but removed from [RFC 2616], due to a lack of implementation experience. Since then, it has been implemented in some [User-agents] (e.g., for style-sheets), and several additional use cases have surfaced.
Because it was removed, the status of the Link header is unclear, leading some to consider minting new application-specific [HTTP Header Field] instead of reusing it. [RFC 8288] addresses this by re-specifying the Link header as one such serialization, with updated but backwards-compatible syntax.[{$pagename}] ([RFC 8288]) specification establishes the [Link Relation Types] [IANA Registry], and updates [Atom] [RFC 4287] to refer to it in place of the "Registry of Link Relations".
!! Links
[{$pagename}] ([RFC 5988]), a link is a typed connection between two [resources] that are identified by [Internationalized Resource Identifiers] ([IRIs]) [RFC 3987], and is comprised of:
* A context IRI,
* a [Link Relation Type],
* a target IRI,
* optionally, target attributes.
A link can be viewed as a statement of the form "{context IRI} has a {relation type} resource at {target IRI}, which has {target attributes}".
Note that in the common case, the context [IRI] will also be a [URI] [RFC 3986], because many [protocols] (such as [HTTP]) do not support dereferencing IRIs. Likewise, the target [IRI] will be converted to a [URI] (see [RFC 3987], Section 3.1) in serialisations that do not support IRIs (e.g., the Link header).!! More Information
