JSON-LD Context + Acknowledgements + Authors' Addresses + +1. Introduction + + Resources on the Web often use typed Web Links [RFC8288], either + (1) embedded in resource representations -- for example, using the + <link> element for HTML documents or (2) conveyed in the HTTP "Link" + header field for documents of any media type. In some cases, + however, providing links in this manner is impractical or impossible, + and delivering a set of links as a standalone document is preferable. + + Therefore, this specification defines two formats for representing + sets of Web Links and their attributes as standalone documents. One + serializes links in the same format as the format used in the HTTP + "Link" header field, and the other serializes links in JSON. It also + defines associated media types to represent sets of links, and the + "linkset" relation type to support the discovery of any resource that + conveys a set of links as a standalone document. + +2. Terminology + + The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", + "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and + "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in + BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all + capitals, as shown here. + + This specification uses the terms "link context" and "link target" in + the same manner that "Web Linking" [RFC8288] uses them. + + In the examples provided in this document, links in the HTTP "Link" + header field are shown on separate lines in order to improve + readability. Note, however, that as per Section 5.5 of "HTTP + Semantics" [RFC9110], line breaks are deprecated in values for HTTP + fields; only whitespaces and tabs are supported as separators. + +3. Use Cases and Motivation + + The following sections describe use cases in which providing links by + means of a standalone document instead of in an HTTP "Link" header + field or as links embedded in the resource representation is + advantageous or necessary. + + For all scenarios, links could be provided by means of a standalone + document that is formatted according to the JSON-based serialization, + the serialization aligned with the HTTP "Link" field format, or both. + The former serialization is motivated by the widespread use of JSON + and related tools, which suggests that handling sets of links + expressed as JSON documents should be attractive to developers. The + latter serialization is provided for compatibility with the existing + serialization used in the HTTP "Link" field and to allow the reuse of + tools created to handle it. + + It is important to keep in mind that when providing links by means of + a standalone representation, other links can still be provided using + other approaches, i.e., it is possible to combine various mechanisms + to convey links. + +3.1. Third-Party Links + + In some cases, it is useful that links pertaining to a resource are + provided by a server other than the one that hosts the resource. For + example, this allows: + + * Providing links in which the resource is involved not just as a + link context but also as a link target, with a different resource + being the link context. + + * Providing links pertaining to the resource that the server hosting + that resource is not aware of. + + * External management of links pertaining to the resource in a + special-purpose link management service. + + In such cases, links pertaining to a resource can be provided by + another, specific resource. That specific resource may be managed, + by the same custodian or by another custodian, as the resource to + which the links pertain. For clients intent on consuming links + provided in that manner, it would be beneficial if the following + conditions were met: + + * Links are provided in a document that uses a well-defined media + type. + + * The resource to which the provided links pertain is able to link + to the resource that provides these links using a well-known link + relation type. + + These requirements are addressed in this specification through the + definition of two media types and a link relation type, respectively. + +3.2. Challenges Writing to the HTTP "Link" Header Field + + In some cases, it is not straightforward to write links to the HTTP + "Link" header field from an application. This can, for example, be + the case because not all required link information is available to + the application or because the application does not have the + capability to directly write HTTP fields. In such cases, providing + links by means of a standalone document can be a solution. Making + the resource that provides these links discoverable can be achieved + by means of a typed link. + +3.3. Large Number of Links + + When conveying links in an HTTP "Link" header field, it is possible + for the size of the HTTP response fields to become unpredictable. + This can be the case when links are determined dynamically in a + manner dependent on a range of contextual factors. It is possible to + statically configure a web server to correctly handle large HTTP + response fields by specifying an upper bound for their size. But + when the number of links is unpredictable, estimating a reliable + upper bound is challenging. + + Section 15 of "HTTP Semantics" [RFC9110] defines error codes related + to excess communication by the user agent ("413 Content Too Large" + and "414 URI Too Long"), but no specific error codes are defined to + indicate that response field content exceeds the upper bound that can + be handled by the server and thus has been truncated. As a result, + applications take countermeasures aimed at controlling the size of + the HTTP "Link" header field -- for example, by limiting the links + they provide to those with select relation types, thereby limiting + the value of the HTTP "Link" header field to clients. Providing + links by means of a standalone document overcomes challenges related + to the unpredictable (to the web server implementation) nature of the + size of HTTP "Link" header fields. + +4. Document Formats for Sets of Links + + This section specifies two document formats to convey a set of links. + Both are based on the abstract model specified in Section 2 of "Web + Linking" [RFC8288], which defines a link as consisting of a "link + context", a "link relation type", a "link target", and optional + "target attributes": + + * The format defined in Section 4.1 is nearly identical to the field + value of the HTTP "Link" header field as specified in Section 3 of + [RFC8288]. + + * The format defined in Section 4.2 is expressed in JSON [RFC8259]. + + Links provided in the HTTP "Link" header field are intended to be + used in the context of an HTTP interaction, and contextual + information that is available during an interaction is used to + correctly interpret them. Links provided in link sets, however, can + be reused outside of an HTTP interaction, when no such contextual + information is available. As a result, implementers of link sets + should strive to make them self-contained by adhering to the + following recommendations. + + For links provided in the HTTP "Link" header field that have no + anchor or that use relative references, the URI of the resource that + delivers the links provides the contextual information that is needed + for their correct interpretation. In order to support use cases + where link set documents are reused outside the context of an HTTP + interaction, it is RECOMMENDED to make them self-contained by + adhering to the following guidelines: + + * For every link provided in the set of links, explicitly provide + the link context using the "anchor" attribute. + + * For the link context ("anchor" attribute) and link target ("href" + attribute), use URI references that are not relative references + (as defined in Section 4.1 of [RFC3986]). + + If these recommendations are not followed, the interpretation of + links in link set documents will depend on which URI is used as the + context. + + For a "title" attribute provided on a link in the HTTP "Link" header + field, the language in which the title is expressed is provided by + the "Content-Language" header field of the HTTP interaction with the + resource that delivers the links. This does not apply to "title" + attributes provided for links in link set documents because that + would constrain all links in a link set to having a single title + language and would not support determining title languages when a + link set is used outside of an HTTP interaction. In order to support + use cases where link set documents are reused outside the context of + an HTTP interaction, it is RECOMMENDED to make them self-contained by + using the "title*" attribute instead of the "title" attribute because + "title*" allows expressing the title language as part of its value by + means of a language tag. Note that, in this regard, language tags + are matched case insensitively (see Section 2.1.1 of [RFC5646]). If + this recommendation is not followed, accurately determining the + language of titles provided on links in link set documents will not + be possible. + + Note also that Section 3.3 of [RFC8288] deprecates the "rev" + construct that was provided by [RFC5988] as a means to express links + with a directionality that is the inverse of direct links that use + the "rel" construct. In both serializations for link sets defined + here, inverse links may be represented as direct links using the + "rel" construct and by switching the roles of the resources involved + in the link. + +4.1. HTTP Link Document Format: application/linkset + + This document format is nearly identical to the field value of the + HTTP "Link" header field as defined in Section 3 of [RFC8288], more + specifically by its ABNF [RFC5234] production rule for "Link" and its + subsequent rules. It differs from the format for field values of the + HTTP "Link" header field only in that not only spaces and horizontal + tabs are allowed as separators but also newline characters as a means + to improve readability for humans. The use of non-ASCII characters + in the field value of the HTTP "Link" header field is not allowed and + as such is also not allowed in "application/linkset" link sets. + + The assigned media type for this format is "application/linkset". + + When converting an "application/linkset" document to a field value + for the HTTP "Link" header field, newline characters MUST be removed + or MUST be replaced by whitespace (SP) in order to comply with + Section 5.5 of [RFC9110]. + + Implementers of "application/linkset" link sets should strive to make + them self-contained by following the recommendations provided in + Section 4 regarding their use outside the context of an HTTP + interaction. + + It should be noted that the "application/linkset" format specified + here is different from the "application/link-format" format specified + in [RFC6690] in that the former fully matches the field value of the + HTTP "Link" header field as defined in Section 3 of [RFC8288], + whereas the latter introduces constraints on that definition to meet + requirements for Constrained RESTful Environments (CoRE). + +4.2. JSON Document Format: application/linkset+json + + This document format uses JSON [RFC8259] as the syntax to represent a + set of links. The set of links follows the abstract model defined by + Section 2 of [RFC8288]. + + The assigned media type for this format is "application/ + linkset+json". + + In the interests of interoperability, "application/linkset+json" link + sets MUST be encoded using UTF-8 as per Section 8.1 of [RFC8259]. + + Implementers of "application/linkset+json" link sets should strive to + make them self-contained by following the recommendations provided in + Section 4 regarding their use outside the context of an HTTP + interaction. + + The "application/linkset+json" serialization allows for OPTIONAL + support of a JSON-LD serialization. This can be achieved by adding + an appropriate context to the "application/linkset+json" + serialization using the approach described in Section 6.1 of + [W3C.REC-json-ld]. Communities of practice can decide which context + best meets their application needs. Appendix A shows an example of a + possible context that, when added to a JSON serialization, allows it + to be interpreted as Resource Description Framework (RDF) data + [W3C.REC-rdf11-concepts]. + +4.2.1. Set of Links + + In the JSON representation of a set of links: + + * A set of links is represented in JSON as an object that MUST + contain "linkset" as its sole member. + + * The value of the "linkset" member is an array in which a distinct + JSON object -- the "link context object" (see Section 4.2.2) -- is + used to represent links that have the same link context. + + * Even if there is only one link context object, it MUST be wrapped + in an array. + +4.2.2. Link Context Object + + In the JSON representation, one or more links that have the same link + context are represented by a JSON object -- the link context object. + A link context object adheres to the following rules: + + * Each link context object MAY contain an "anchor" member with a + value that represents the link context. If present, this value + MUST be a URI reference and SHOULD NOT be a relative reference as + defined in Section 4.1 of [RFC3986]. + + * For each distinct relation type that the link context has with + link targets, a link context object MUST contain an additional + member. The value of this member is an array in which a distinct + JSON object -- the "link target object" (see Section 4.2.3) -- + MUST be used for each link target for which the relationship with + the link context (value of the encompassing "anchor" member) + applies. The name of this member expresses the relation type of + the link as follows: + + - For registered relation types (Section 2.1.1 of [RFC8288]), the + name of this member is the registered name of the relation + type. + + - For extension relation types (Section 2.1.2 of [RFC8288]), the + name of this member is the URI that uniquely represents the + relation type. + + * Even if there is only one link target object, it MUST be wrapped + in an array. + +4.2.3. Link Target Object + + In the JSON representation, a link target is represented by a JSON + object -- the link target object. A link target object adheres to + the following rules: + + * Each link target object MUST contain an "href" member with a value + that represents the link target. This value MUST be a URI + reference and SHOULD NOT be a relative reference as defined in + Section 4.1 of [RFC3986]. Cases where the "href" member is + present but no value is provided for it (i.e., the resource + providing the set of links is the target of the link in the link + target object) MUST be handled by providing an "href" member with + an empty string as its value ("href": ""). + + * In many cases, a link target is further qualified by target + attributes. Various types of attributes exist, and they are + conveyed as additional members of the link target object as + detailed in Section 4.2.4. + + The following example of a JSON-serialized set of links represents + one link with its core components: link context, link relation type, + and link target. + + { "linkset": + [ + { "anchor": "https://example.net/bar", + "next": [ + {"href": "https://example.com/foo"} + ] + } + ] + } + + Figure 1: Simple linkset example + + The following example of a JSON-serialized set of links represents + two links that share a link context and relation type but have + different link targets. + + { "linkset": + [ + { "anchor": "https://example.net/bar", + "item": [ + {"href": "https://example.com/foo1"}, + {"href": "https://example.com/foo2"} + ] + } + ] + } + + Figure 2: Linkset with two links with the same context + + The following example shows a set of links that represents two links, + each with a different link context, link target, and relation type. + One relation type is registered, and the other is an extension + relation type. + + { "linkset": + [ + { "anchor": "https://example.net/bar", + "next": [ + {"href": "https://example.com/foo1"} + ] + }, + { "anchor": "https://example.net/boo", + "https://example.com/relations/baz" : [ + {"href": "https://example.com/foo2"} + ] + } + ] + } + + Figure 3: Linkset with two links with different contexts + +4.2.4. Link Target Attributes + + A link may be further qualified by target attributes as defined by + Section 2 of [RFC8288]. Three types of attributes exist: + + * Serialization-defined attributes as described in Section 3.4.1 of + [RFC8288]. + + * Extension attributes defined and used by communities as allowed by + Section 3.4.2 of [RFC8288]. + + * Internationalized versions of the "title" attribute as defined by + [RFC8288] and of extension attributes allowed by Section 3.4 of + [RFC8288]. + + The handling of these different types of attributes is described in + the sections below. + +4.2.4.1. Target Attributes Defined by Web Linking + + Section 3.4.1 of [RFC8288] defines the following target attributes + that may be used to annotate links: "hreflang", "media", "title", + "title*", and "type"; these target attributes follow different + occurrence and value patterns. In the JSON representation, these + attributes MUST be conveyed as additional members of the link target + object as follows: + + "hreflang": The "hreflang" target attribute, defined as optional and + repeatable by [RFC8288], MUST be represented by an "hreflang" + member, its value MUST be an array (even if there is only one + value to be represented), and each value in that array MUST be a + string -- representing one value of the "hreflang" target + attribute for a link -- that follows the same model as the syntax + discussed in [RFC8288]. + + "media": The "media" target attribute, defined as optional and not + repeatable by [RFC8288], MUST be represented by a "media" member + in the link target object, and its value MUST be a string that + follows the same model as the syntax discussed in [RFC8288]. + + "title": The "title" target attribute, defined as optional and not + repeatable by [RFC8288], MUST be represented by a "title" member + in the link target object, and its value MUST be a JSON string. + + "title*": The "title*" target attribute, defined as optional and not + repeatable by [RFC8288], is motivated by character encoding and + language issues and follows the model defined in [RFC8187]. The + details of the JSON representation that applies to "title*" are + described in Section 4.2.4.2. + + "type": The "type" target attribute, defined as optional and not + repeatable by [RFC8288], MUST be represented by a "type" member in + the link target object, and its value MUST be a string that + follows the same model as the syntax discussed in [RFC8288]. + + The following example illustrates how the "hreflang" (repeatable) + target attribute and the "type" (not repeatable) target attribute are + represented in a link target object. + + { "linkset": + [ + { "anchor": "https://example.net/bar", + "next": [ + { "href": "https://example.com/foo", + "type": "text/html", + "hreflang": [ "en" , "de" ] + } + ] + } + ] + } + + Figure 4: Linkset with "hreflang" and "type" target attributes + +4.2.4.2. Internationalized Target Attributes + + In addition to the target attributes described in Section 4.2.4.1, + Section 3.4 of [RFC8288] also supports attributes that follow the + content model of [RFC8187]. In [RFC8288], these target attributes + are recognizable by the use of a trailing asterisk in the attribute + name, such as "title*". The content model of [RFC8187] uses a + string-based microsyntax that represents the character encoding, an + optional language tag, and the escaped attribute value encoded + according to the specified character encoding. + + The JSON serialization for these target attributes MUST be as + follows: + + * An internationalized target attribute is represented as a member + of the link context object with the same name (including the "*") + as the attribute. + + * The character encoding information as prescribed by [RFC8187] is + not preserved; instead, the content of the internationalized + attribute is represented as a JSON string. + + * The value of the internationalized target attribute is an array + that contains one or more JSON objects. The name of one member of + such JSON objects is "value", and its value is the actual content + (in its unescaped version) of the internationalized target + attribute, i.e., the value of the attribute from which the + encoding and language information are removed. The name of + another, optional member of such JSON objects is "language", and + its value is the language tag [RFC5646] for the language in which + the attribute content is conveyed. + + The following example illustrates how the "title*" target attribute + as defined by Section 3.4.1 of [RFC8288] is represented in a link + target object. + + { "linkset": + [ + { "anchor": "https://example.net/bar", + "next": [ + { "href": "https://example.com/foo", + "type": "text/html", + "hreflang": [ "en" , "de" ], + "title": "Next chapter", + "title*": [ { "value": "nächstes Kapitel" , + "language" : "de" } ] + } + ] + } + ] + } + + Figure 5: Linkset with "title" and "title*" target attributes + + The above example assumes that the German title contains an umlaut + character (in the original syntax, it would be encoded as title*=UTF- + 8'de'n%c3%a4chstes%20Kapitel), which gets encoded in its unescaped + form in the JSON representation. Implementations MUST properly + decode/encode internationalized target attributes that follow the + model of [RFC8187] when transcoding between the "application/linkset" + format and the "application/linkset+json" format. + +4.2.4.3. Extension Target Attributes + + Extension target attributes (e.g., as listed in Section 4.2.4.1) are + attributes that are not defined by Section 3.4.1 of [RFC8288] but are + nevertheless used to qualify links. They can be defined by + communities in any way deemed necessary, and it is up to them to make + sure their usage is understood by target applications. However, + lacking standardization, there is no interoperable understanding of + these extension attributes. One important consequence is that their + cardinality is unknown to generic applications. Therefore, in the + JSON serialization, all extension target attributes are treated as + repeatable. + + The JSON serialization for these target attributes MUST be as + follows: + + * An extension target attribute is represented as a member of the + link target object with the same name as the attribute, including + the "*" if applicable. + + * The value of an extension attribute MUST be represented by an + array, even if there is only one value to be represented. + + * If the extension target attribute does not have a name with a + trailing asterisk, then each value in that array MUST be a JSON + string that represents one value of the attribute. + + * If the extension attribute has a name with a trailing asterisk (it + follows the content model of [RFC8187]), then each value in that + array MUST be a JSON object. The value of each such JSON object + MUST be structured as described in Section 4.2.4.2. + + The following example shows a link target object with three extension + target attributes. The value for each extension target attribute is + an array. The first two are regular extension target attributes, + with the first one ("foo") having only one value and the second one + ("bar") having two. The last extension target attribute ("baz*") + follows the naming rule of [RFC8187] and therefore is encoded + according to the serialization described in Section 4.2.4.2. + + { "linkset": + [ + { "anchor": "https://example.net/bar", + "next": [ + { "href": "https://example.com/foo", + "type": "text/html", + "foo": [ "foovalue" ], + "bar": [ "barone", "bartwo" ], + "baz*": [ { "value": "bazvalue" , + "language" : "en" } ] + } + ] + } + ] + } + + Figure 6: Linkset with extension target attributes + +4.2.5. JSON Extensibility + + The Web Linking model [RFC8288] provides for the use of extension + target attributes as discussed in Section 4.2.4.3. The use of other + forms of extensions is NOT RECOMMENDED. Limiting the JSON format in + this way allows unambiguous round trips between links provided in the + HTTP "Link" header field, sets of links serialized according to the + "application/linkset" format, and sets of links serialized according + to the "application/linkset+json" format. + + Cases may exist in which the use of extensions other than those + discussed in Section 4.2.4.3 may be useful -- for example, when a + link set publisher needs to include descriptive or technical metadata + for internal consumption. If such extensions are used, they MUST NOT + change the semantics of the JSON members defined in this + specification. Agents that consume JSON linkset documents can safely + ignore such extensions. + +5. The "profile" Parameter for Media Types to Represent Sets of Links + + As a means to convey specific constraints or conventions (as per + [RFC6906]) that apply to a link set document, the "profile" parameter + MAY be used in conjunction with the media types "application/linkset" + and "application/linkset+json" as detailed in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, + respectively. For example, the parameter could be used to indicate + that a link set uses a specific, limited set of link relation types. + + The value of the "profile" parameter MUST be a non-empty list of + space-separated URIs, each of which identifies specific constraints + or conventions that apply to the link set document. When providing + multiple profile URIs, care should be taken that the corresponding + profiles are not conflicting. Profile URIs MAY be registered in the + IANA's "Profile URIs" registry in the manner specified by [RFC7284]. + + The presence of a "profile" parameter in conjunction with the + "application/linkset" and "application/linkset+json" media types does + not change the semantics of a link set. As such, clients with and + without knowledge of profile URIs can use the same representation. + + Section 7.4.2 shows an example of using the "profile" parameter in + conjunction with the "application/linkset+json" media type. + +6. The "linkset" Relation Type for Linking to a Set of Links + + The target of a link with the "linkset" relation type provides a set + of links, including links in which the resource that is the link + context participates. + + A link with the "linkset" relation type MAY be provided in the header + field and/or the body of a resource's representation. It may also be + discovered by other means, such as through client-side information. + + A resource MAY provide more than one link with a "linkset" relation + type. Multiple such links can refer to the same set of links + expressed using different media types, or to different sets of links, + potentially provided by different third-party services. + + The set of links provided by the resource that is the target of a + "linkset" link may contain links in which the resource that is the + context of the "linkset" link does not participate. User agents MUST + process each link in the link set independently, including processing + of the link context and link target, and MAY ignore links from the + link set in which the context of the "linkset" link does not + participate. + + A user agent that follows a "linkset" link and obtains links for + which anchors and targets are expressed as relative references (as + per Section 4.1 of [RFC3986]) MUST determine what the context is for + these links; it SHOULD ignore links for which it is unable to + unambiguously make that determination. + + As a means to convey specific constraints or conventions (as per + [RFC6906]) that apply to a link set document, the "profile" attribute + MAY be used in conjunction with the "linkset" link relation type. + For example, the attribute could be used to indicate that a link set + uses a specific, limited set of link relation types.

Security Considerations + + The security considerations of Section 7 of [RFC3986] apply, as well + as those of Web Linking [RFC8288] as long as the latter are not + specifically discussing the risks of exposing information in HTTP + header fields. + + In general, links may cause information leakage when they expose + information (such as URIs) that can be sensitive or private. Links + may expose "hidden URIs" that are not supposed to be openly shared + and that may not be sufficiently protected. Ideally, none of the + URIs exposed in links should be supposed to be "hidden"; instead, if + these URIs are supposed to be limited to certain users, then + technical measures should be put in place so that accidentally + exposing them does not cause any harm. + + For the specific mechanisms defined in this specification, two + security considerations should be taken into account: + + * The Web Linking model always has an "implicit context", which is + the resource of the HTTP interaction. This original context can + be lost or can change when self-contained link representations are + moved. Changing the context can change the interpretation of + links when they have no explicit anchor or when they use relative + URIs. Applications may choose to ignore links that have no + explicit anchor or that use relative URIs when these are exchanged + in standalone resources. + + * The model introduced in this specification supports "third-party + links", where one party can provide links that have another + party's resource as an anchor. Depending on the link semantics + and the application context, it is important to verify that there + is sufficient trust in that third party to allow it to provide + these links. Applications may choose to treat third-party links + differently than cases where a resource and the links for that + resource are provided by the same party. + +10. References + +10.1.
