Directory link formats

This is a page for documenting ways people link to directories and build directories in a distributed manner.

• TTLB
  • "[Carnival Name] can also be found at The Truth Laid Bear's ÜberCarnival."
    • this is a way for Carnival posts to get put into the ÜberCarnival
    • it appears that the communities and carnivals are all done in a non-distributed manner
• blogwise
  • they ask you to link to them, but not to a specific directory page (http://www.blogwise.com/faqs/linking)
• webrings
  • http://www.ringsurf.com/netring?ring=protarot;id=135;action=prev5
  • typical format is to pass the ring name as a query parameter
  • more web 1.0 than the font tag :D
• XML
  • http://www.xml.com/lpt/a/2001/02/28/rddl.html
  • a way to list resources for an xml namespace
  • this format deals more with the way that the directory is marked up than with how the directory is linked to
