A link resolver is a system which receives metadata as input (metadata describing a journal article) and calculates links to the journal articles described by the input. A link resolver has a knowledgebase of links and entitlements information per customer. As libraries often have multiple copies of the same article available, it is able to resolve to the appropriate copy of the article as defined by the customer.
