"Notification, a mechanism for the sharing, or reuse, of web resources?"
cited Wed Apr 28,'04 at Auricle
"Trackback is also being used outside of the weblog world. The best example of this in practice is probably the Maricopa Learning eXchange's packaging slip which incorporates a trackback feature to facilitate notification of learning object reuse. I like this a lot because, apart from being sociable/community oriented, it should help to build a knowledge-base of use and reuse which is after all the 'holy grail' of the learning object advocates. "

about shareback

A "Shareback" provides a link from here to other websites where MLX Package 906 has been used, described, or referenced. It uses "Trackback" technology to share these remote citings back to the item's packing slip.

Shareback is both a courtesy and a way to provide feedback to Bill Holmes, the person who contributed Ice breaker for class early in semester to the MLX. In addition, it may help visitors to this package to see other contexts in which the package has been used or described.

Creating a Shareback sends a short electronic message, or a "ping", back to the MLX that says, "This MLX package has been described on this web site at this address, with this description" and thus becomes part of the data associated with the package.

Weblogs such as MovableType, TypePad, and Manila have built-in tools to automate creation of sharebacks- if the URL for this package is mentioned in an entry created on these systems, the information is automatically sent back to the MLX as a "shareback."
