Herbert Van de Sompel, Patrick Hochstenbach · Ghent University Academic Bibliography (Ghent University) · 1999
This is the second part of two articles about reference linking in hybrid digital libraries.The first part, Frameworks for Linking described the current state-of-the-art and contrasted various approaches to the problem.It identified static and dynamic linking solutions, as well as open and closed linking frameworks.It also included an extensive bibliography.The second part describes our work at the University of Ghent to address these issues.SFX is a generic linking system that we have developed for our own needs, but its underlying concepts can be applied in a wide range of digital libraries.
