Web Services Team Hyperlink Policy

From one MIT Enterprise Content System to another (including Help Pages)

• Web Services will link from one content site to another no more than two directories down in a web.mit.edu site. For instance, Web Services will link to web.mit.edu/hr/benefits, but not to web.mit.edu/hr/benefits/insurance/


• Web Services will link from one content site to an MIT site with its own domain no more than one directory down (medical.mit.edu/wellness/ but not medical.mit.edu/wellness/yoga/)

From one Web Services-maintained Content System to a different Web Services-maintained Content System

• Web Services will hyperlink and maintain the links as deep as required within and between Web Services-maintained content sites

From any MIT Enterprise web site to an outside site

• Web Services will only link to the domain level (www.caltech.edu but not www.caltech.edu/biz/)

From a Web Services-maintained content site to MIT applications:

• Directly to the start of all Administrative Computing enterprise applications


• Never to any DLC-maintained applications, even if they fit the description of an enterprise application

Note: Some of the example web sites listed in the Web Services Policy exist while others were made up for explanation purposes.
