Abstract:

Reference linking is emerging as a key differentiator in the evaluation of online content. However, many publishers find themselves unfamiliar with the buzzwords, unsure of the technologies and overwhelmed by the concepts involved. This article provides a simple overview of the evolution of linking technology, reviews the current situation and suggests some requirements for continued development. The practical benefits to various groups within the information community, along with their potential responsiblities, are addressed.
