Original source

"webmention" is a link relation type registered in the IANA Link Relations registry.

  • Relation name: webmention
  • Description: Identifies a target URI that supports the Webmention protocol. This allows clients that mention a resource in some form of publishing process to contact that endpoint and inform it that this resource has been mentioned.
  • Defined in: Webmention
  • Notes: This is a similar "Linkback" mechanism to the ones of Refback, Trackback, and Pingback. It uses a different protocol, though, and thus should be discoverable through its own link relation type.
