permanent link
<World-Wide Web> A URL that always points to the same piece of web
content. Web pages that appear for a limited time at their main URL, such as
weblogs or news sites, often display an alternative, permanent link. Readers can
quote, bookmark, or link to this URL in order to refer to a particular item,
rather than the page displaying the latest item.
For example, the URL http://news.bbc.co.uk/ points to the latest news from the
BBC whereas http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/2614839.stm is a permanent link to a
particular news story.
