Portals
Web pages/services which can be displayed without using any linking information.
Linking Parameters
The linking parameters are those fields that specify the particular entries that the user might be interested in at the remote site. E.g., if the user wants the Abstract for a particular bibcode, then the bibcode is the linking field. If the user wants a DSS overlay of the region surrounding an object, then the position or target name will likely be the linking field. Some representation of the link field will normally be encoded in the returned URLs.
Search Parameters
The search parameters are used to determine which services to be retrieved, but typically are not part of the specific URLs generated. These generally refer to metadata about the resource, i.e., the kinds of data stores.
Control parameters
The control parameters affect how the registry service itself is to behave. They may be set to truncate the list of returned URLs, and or to request that the registry get information about each URL, e.g., the number of anticipated hits for the specified link parameters.
