| Optional static or dynamic linking |
 |
 |
| explanation: If a piece of information ("fact") is changed on an factline-platform, the old version is not deleted. Instead a new version, which is placed over the old one, is created. This mechanism is absolutely vital in order to be able to choose wheter a link should point to a specific version or always to the most current version. concrete examples: dynamic link Usually, information is linked dynamicly. This means, the link automatically refers to the latest version. This way, modified content such as price or contact information is automatically made visible. The link does not need to be updated. static link With regard to the changeability of content, it might sometimes be necessary not only to specify to which information a link refers but also to which version. For instance, the author of an online article can include a link to a specific version of a piece of information, which is also available online, he or she referenced in his article. related topics:  version control |
