RFC 8574: cite-as: A Link Relation to Convey a Preferred URI for Referencing
In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC
A web resource is routinely referenced by means of the URI with which it is directly accessed. But cases exist where referencing a resource by means of a different URI is preferred. This specification defines a link relation type that can be used to convey such a preference.
