The Internet Archive discovers and captures web pages through many different web crawls.
At any given time several distinct crawls are running, some for months, and some every day or longer.

LINK is used to indicate relationships between documents. There are two
possible relationships: REL indicates a normal relationship to the
document specified in the URL. REV indicates a reverse relationship. In
other words, the other document has the indicated relationship
with this one. The TITLE attribute can be used to suggest a title for the
referenced URL or relation.
Some possible values for REL and REV:
REV="made"
Indicates the creator of the document. Usually the URL is a mailto:
URL with the creator's e-mail address. Advanced browsers will now let
the reader comment on the page with just one button or keystroke.
REL="stylesheet"
This indicates the location of the appropriate style sheet for the
current document.
The following LINK tags allow advanced browsers to automatically generate
a navigational buttonbar for the site. For each possible value, the
URL can be either absolute or relative.
REL="home"
Indicates the location of the homepage, or starting page in this site.
REL="toc"
Indicates the location of the table of contents, or overview of this site.
REL="index"
Indicates the location of the index for this site. This doesn't have
to be the same as the table of contents. The index could be alphabetical,
for example.
REL="glossary"
Indicates the location of a glossary of terms for this site.
REL="copyright"
Indicates the location of a page with copyright information for
information and such on this site.
REL="up"
Indicates the location of the document which is logically directly
above the current document.
REL="next"
Indicates the location of the next document in a series, relative
to the current document.
REL="previous"
Indicates the location of the previous document in a series, relative
to the current document.
REL="help"
Indicates the location of a help file for this site. This can be
useful if the site is complex, or if the current document may require
eplanations to be used correctly (for example, a large fill-in form).
Notes:
Support for the LINK tag is currently very limited, although it
may be useful for site maintenance.
