Content Resources Scenario

Landing Page ➞ Content Resources

The use of Typed Links in the HTTP Link header is illustrated for the paper:

Madland, C. and Richards, G. Enhancing Student-Student Online Interaction: Exploring the Study Buddy Peer Review Activity. The International Review of Research In Open and Distributed Computing 17, 3 (2016), 158-175. https://doi.org/10.19173/irrodl.v17i3.2179.

This is a summary of the links that should be provided:

  • The Landing Page should have links with the item relation type pointing at each Content Resource.
  • Each item link should have attributes to express the MIME type and possibly profile of the resource that is the target of the link.
  • Each Content Resource should link back to the Landing Page with the collection relation type.
