It does not differ form ordinary links in any technical or formal sense. | |

If you cite a paper from 1900, and there are no more copies of that paper around, the citation is a "dead link". It will survive if you copy it to some collection "All the Math Published in 1900" or whatever. One example is the Scott-Solovay paper about forcing with Boolean-valued models. It was never published, so all the references are "dead links". Luckily the content was passed on, and so this is not a big deal. | |

If the original file (or the whole site) dies, the link dies. The only way to make a stable link to something stored in a suspicious place is to copy it to a more reliable storage and link there. | |
