<h2>Introduction</h2> |

<p>Recently, a number of auto-discovery conventions |
84 |
|
|
are proposed and implemented in various Web browsers |
85 |
|
|
and so-called <q>Web 2.0</q> services. They provide |
86 |
|
|
means to extract links to resources (or other useful |
87 |
|
|
information) from Web documents in somewhat reliable |
88 |
|
|
ways. However, the syntax of these techniques |
89 |
|
|
vary and the implementators have to add specific |
90 |
|
|
code for each auto-discovery technique.</p> |
91 |
|
|
|
92 |
|
|
<p>The <dfn id="DT-autodiscovery-autodiscovery">Auto-Discovery |
93 |
|
|
Auto-Discovery</dfn> is a mechanism to discover |
94 |
|
|
auto-discovery element that contains links (or |
95 |
|
|
other information) for auto-discovery techniques. |
96 |
|
|
With the Auto-Discovery Auto-Discovery, user agents |
97 |
|
|
can detect auto-discovery elements without any |
98 |
|
|
particular knowledge to a specific auto-discovery |
99 |
|
|
technique.</p> |
