A link relation is relation between two files. HTML5 allows you to link your
HTML file with another file. It provides two types of link relation,
- Links with external resources
- Links with different HTML documents.
Links with External resources and are created
by using the LINK element in HEAD element, while the links with different HTML
documents, also known as hyperlinks, are created by using the 'A' element. The
link relation are implemented by using the rel attribute with the LINK element.

this attribute such as:
rel-help and rel-licence, which link your HTML Document with a help document and
a document having copyright information, respectively.
