Supported Link Relations

Every link element in the feed resources returned by the Content Engine web service has a rel attribute. This attribute contains a link relation, a name that identifies the relationship between the current resource and the resource referenced by the link. This section lists all the link relations that client applications can expect to find in feed resources returned by the Content Engine web service, and descriptions of their meaning.

The link relations found in Content Engine feed resources fall into two categories:

  • Standard link relations defined in one of the ATOM specifications. The descriptions of these relations consist of a reference to the appropriate specification and a brief account of how they are used by the Content Engine web service.

  • Proprietary relations defined by Escenic. The descriptions of these relations consist of a brief account of their meaning and use.
