Subject: More core concepts
Hi folks Currently reviewing linking here. I am trying to compress the subject of linking into some minimal concepts and a simple story. Here are a few core concepts. This assumes we know what “relationship” means – tho it might need defining too. * resource – something that can be addressed like a map, topic, image file or fragment in a topic * address – a URI that addresses a resource. * link – some XML syntax, typically using an href or conref attribute that establishes a single direction relationship between the linking object and a linked to resource. A link is not a hyperlink but may be manifested as such. * relationship tables – establish relationships which may later be manifested as hyperlinks * key – a way to set addresses in links thus changing the relationships those links establish * taxonomy subject – a subject is established in DITA using a subjectdef. A subjectdef link is used to establish an “isAbout” relationship between a topic and a subject. When published into HTML or PDF relationships are often manifested as hyperlinks. Hope this helps. cheers Jim |
