This page describes how to refer to RIBo web pages online or in print, using short, stable URLs.
Oracc.org | Projects | Single texts
Whether you are linking to RIBo from a web page or another online
resource, or citing RIBo resources in print, you should NOT cite the
oracc.museum.upenn.edu
server directly. Instead, use the hostname
http://oracc.org
. Then append the relevant part of the
URL as given in the examples, which are designed to be
permanent. The hostname http://oracc.org
will always redirect to the
current Oracc server, wherever it is hosted.
Decide whether you want to link to the home page of a project (which is likely to include a text-based description of its aims and scope), or directly to the corpus outline. Always the lower-case project abbreviation, and remember to include the final /
. For instance:
http://oracc.org/ribo/
http://oracc.org/ribo/corpus/
Some projects have subprojects:
http://oracc.org/ribo/babylon7/
http://oracc.org/ribo/babylon7/corpus/
There are various different ways of linking to single texts in a corpus. For instance:
To link directly to a single text in a project, for instance to embed it in another web page, use the the text's ID (i.e., P-, Q- or X-number). For example:
