22/// A Link is an indirect, qualified reference to a resource identified by a URL.
23///
24/// The fundamental model for links is established by
25/// [[RFC5988](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5988)]. Many of the properties defined by the
26/// Activity Vocabulary allow values that are either instances of Object or Link. When a Link is
27/// used, it establishes a qualified relation connecting the subject (the containing object) to the
28/// resource identified by the href. Properties of the Link are properties of the reference as
29/// opposed to properties of the resource.
