RFC 5829 Version Navigation Link Relations April 2010
1. Introduction
This specification defines a set of link relation types that may be
used on Web resources that exist in a system that supports versioning
to navigate among the different resources available, such as past
versions and working copies.
These link relations are used in the AtomPub ([RFC5023]) bindings of
the "Content Management Interoperability Services" (CMIS). See
Section 3.4.3.3 of [CMIS] for further information.
