<self-uri>

URI for Object Online

URI for another version of this object, for example, a book, book part, collection, event, etc. This element may be used when the document/collection is available in multiple forms (for example, as a print book, a downloadable PDF, a black-and-white eBook, and an expanded version with additional high-resolution graphics available on the website).

Remarks

The textual content of this element may be a URI (typically naming a website) when the text is used as a live link, or the element content may just be a few words and the link attributes hold the real link, for example,

  <self-uri xlink:href="...URL here...">An expanded version of this document is available online</self-uri>

Related Elements

<self-uri> is used when a document or document component (such as a chapter) is available in multiple forms, for example, as a means of indicating the online version of a print document. Conversely, a URI that indicates a different book, article, or any other kind of external reference is usually tagged as <ext-link>. The <uri> element, although allowed everywhere <ext-link> is used, is more typically part of an address, information concerning a contributor, or part of a reference citation. Loosely put, an external link <ext-link> element is intended to act as a link; a URI <uri> element identifies a URI (such as a URL) in the text, but may or may not be a traversable link; and the <self-uri> points to another form of the same document.
