Linking refers to the process of making connections between or among different entities or elements, including systems, vocabularies, index terms, etc. Examples include hyperlinks in online systems; linking among authority files, bibliographic files, and index files; and cross references between and among individual terms.
the process of converting one or more pairs of ucode files into an icode file suitable for execution.
The process of combining (i.e., linking together) the object code modules (object files) of previously assembled program elements into a complete, executable program. The elements linked together might consist of your program and library subroutines. The final executable file has the extension .EXE or .COM; it can be loaded into the memory of the computer and executed.
some database like Gale's Expanded Academic ASAP which contain citation records and fulltext offer two verions of linking generally refered to as inbound and outbound outbound links are OpenURLs associated with a citation record which are sent to a Link Resolver (UC-eLinks) inbound links are generated by a Link Resolver (UC-eLinks) and resolved to full text at the vendor's site
The process of assembling a number of object code modules into a program. This will require shared functions and data to be linked together. The output of the linking phase is an executable program file (if all goes well).
OLE technique that allows a container document to hold a reference to another COM object. The object itself is extenal to the container document.
In normal static linking, the process in which the linker resolves all external references by searching run-time and user libraries, and then computes absolute offset addresses for these references. Static linking results in a single executable file. In dynamic linking (see), the operating system, rather than the linker, provides the addresses after loading the modules into separate parts of memory.
The process of creating a linked file, as opposed to embedding the file (see embedding).
In a project, establishing a dependency between tasks. When you link tasks, you define a dependency between their start and finish dates. There are four kinds of task dependencies: finish-to-start (FS), start-to-start (SS), finish-to-finish (FF), and start-to-finish (SF). Â In OLE, establishing a connection between programs so that information, such as a chart or text, in a container document can be updated whenever that information changes in the source document.
A method of inserting an object, such as a document or worksheet, into a file (the destination file) while maintaining a connection between the object's source file and the destination file. The linked object in the destination file is updated automatically when the source file is updated. See also embedding.
An OLE method of inserting an object into a container application's document. A linked object does not include the object's native data. Instead, it includes a reference to both the server application and the original data. If the original data changes, the linked object is seen to be updated automatically. See also OLE, Client/Server, and Data.
Creating pointers from elements in a document or workspace to referenced items. Links can be simple descriptions such as text citations to referenced items or they can be computational objects such as hypertext links on a web page. Links can connect to different kinds of referenced items, including other portions of a document, other documents in a corpus, information on the web that is computed on demand, and meta-data. Links can be used to support other operations besides following the link. For example, links can be used to guide particular interpretations and visualizations, such as reasoning about validity of conclusions based on sources of different quality or dependence of sections on assumptions with varying degrees of belief. See also assumption linking and source linking.
