Section 2.2.3 Links
A link is a Uniform Resource Identifier used to identify an
Internet-accessible resource. In the context of MurdochNet, a link is a string
of characters accompanied by a title or image and embedded in a document in
HTML or related format that is hosted on or accessed via a Web Server. The
format most frequently used for a link is a Uniform Resource Locator, or URL.
The protocol most frequently used is HTTP or HTTPS, however links are also made
to resources accessible via other protocols (eg. FTP, telnet).
To facilitate reliable access to MurdochNet Content, links
should be managed in ways that promote continuity or persistence and minimise
link maintenance tasks, particularly those resulting from organisational
restructuring and the relocation of Content.
Where links are provided to MurdochNet Content hosted on or
accessed via Web Servers, the links shall make use of registered Server names
(ie. Web Server aliases).
For the purposes of management
of links in MurdochNet Content hosted on MurdochNet Servers and Affiliated
Web Servers at Murdoch University, or in applications accessed by such Servers,
links shall be categorised as:
a. Registered Links
b. University Content Links
c. Foreign Content Links
d. Internet Links
