blt home page
Values in the http://www.snee.com/ns/blt namespace
Link Element Values
- BlogLink
- Encloses the from, to, and linkType elements to describe out-of-line links. An example is available.
- from
- Starting endpoint of link.
- to
- Link destination.
- linkType
- Type assigned to link, ideally from a specified namespace such as blt, Randall Trigg's taxonomy, or the values enumerated for the XHTML REL element.
- attributedTo
- Who assigned the linkType value. See example.
Link Type Values
- Event-recommended
- An upcoming event.
- Event-report
- The citing page discusses an event such as a conference. Note that tt:event-report isn't used to point to an event report, but to link from an event report to something about the event being reported on.
- News-bad
- The linked resource describes bad news.
- News-good
- The linked resource describes good news. This can include an upcoming event.
- News-interesting
- the linked resource describes news not clearly good or bad, but interesting. The citing page adds no new information about it other than a recommendation that you read it.
- News-interesting-implications
- Like news-interesting, except that the citing page adds some discussion of the news.
- Project-good
- The project located at the linked resource is valuable. (I came up with this when I found myself assigning "Resource-good" to too many links.)
- Pt-good
- The point made in the linked resource is interesting ("Pt" from Trigg's link types).
- Pt-interesting
- The point made in the linked resource is interesting ("Pt" from Trigg's link types).
- Resource-good
- The linked resource is a valuable resource. A link to an informative article would be a good resource; a link to an interesting article with more opinion than reported fact would more properly be classified as a Resource-interesting link.
- Resource-interesting
- The linked resource is interesting. An article may be Resource-interesting or Resource-good. There is no Resource-bad because Trigg's link types offer more nuanced ways to say why something is bad.
