Connect
A link is a connection, e.g.:
- One element in a chain (literally or figuratively).
- More generally, a physical connection such as a road, railroad, cable, or pipeline.
- A connection by radio waves, or a radio path between two points, called a radio link.
- In hypertext, a hyperlink, i.e. a provision for moving from one webpage to another; similarly for an other set of pages (not necessarily on the Internet), such as articles in an electronic encyclopedia.
- The communications facilities between adjacent nodes of a network.
- Note 1: In all cases, the type of link, such as data link, downlink, duplex link, fiber optic link, line-of-sight link, point-to-point link, radio link and satellite link, should be identified.
- Note 2: A link may be simplex, half-duplex, or duplex.
- A portion of a circuit connected in tandem with, i.e., in series with, other portions.
- A conceptual circuit, i.e., logical circuit, between two users of a network, that enables the users to communicate, even when different physical paths are used.
- In computer programming, link means to take separately compiled object code modules, at least one of which refers to an address in another, and substitute the actual addresses of routines in the other module for placeholders.
- Link - a Nintendo video game character from the Legend of Zelda series.
- In knot theory a link is several knots (possibly including the unknot) which may be linked together. These are the components of the link. If they are not linked, they are said to be unlinked, but they are still referred to as a link. Likewise a knot may be called a link, even though it has only one component.
- A customary unit of the United States of America, i.e. one hundredth of a chain.
- Project LINK was initiated in 1968 to build the world's first global macroeconomic model.
