Remarks

Well-known relationship types include:

• alternate - The link identifies an alternate version of the resource described by the containing Feed or Item.

• related - The link identifies a resource related to the containing Feed or Item.

• self - The link identifies a resource equivalent to the containing Feed or Item.

• enclosure - The link identifies a related resource that is potentially large in size and might require special handling. This link relation is often used when podcasts or audio files are distributed in a Feed.

• via - The link identifies a resource that is the source of the information provided in the containing Feed or Item.

When serialized to Atom 1.0 this value is written out as the rel attribute of the <link> element. When serialized to RSS 2.0, this value is written out as the rel attribute in the <a10:link> element.
