An Architecture for Reference Linking
Donna Bergmark, William Y. Arms, Carl Lagoze · eCommons (Cornell University) · 2000
The Digital Library Research Group at Cornell has Reference Link-ing as one of its projects. Typical projects within in the group take an object-oriented approach to handling digital information. To support reference linking, therefore, we designed a scheme whereby reference linking information is extracted from archives by surrogate objects and then presented to client applications or users by means of a well-de ned API. This paper describes that architecture, the API, and how the API might be supported in the Dienst protocol.
