Web links

Links to the World Wide Web must have class='webLink'.

Where a bibliographic reference is a link to the world wide web, use class='webLink'. Not every link in a text is a bibliographic reference - only those that are capturable as bibItem will use this attribute.

Do not use class="webLink" for online journals and journal articles. Look for the word journal in the citation. If it is present, use attribute class="periodical" or class="journalArticle" instead.

This class will be used in conjunction with the url attribute and url element if a full URL to the world wide web is present in the bibliographic reference.

This class is also used for particular types of links in Medicine content for Clinical Trial Ids and for image icons that represent links.

date	Date the website content was published (e.g. for blog entries)
dateAccessed	Date the link was accessed (last known date the link resolved correctly)
