Introduction

Signposting is supported in EPrints 3.3 and 3.4+ and is a pre-requisite for using any COAR Notify features.

Signposting introduces Typed Links to the HTTP response headers for summary pages. These direct services to links where more information can be found about the resource using a specified format.

An example of Typed Link headers can be seen in the HTTP response in the below screenshot.
