Cross-reference

The term cross-reference can refer to either: ▪ An instance within a document which refers to related information elsewhere in the same document.

For example, under the term Albert Einstein in the index of a book about Nobel Laureates, there may be the cross-reference See also: Einstein, Albert. ▪ In hypertext, cross-referencing is maintained to a document with either in-context or out-of-context cross-referencing. These are similar to KWIC and KWOC. ▪ In programming, "cross-referencing" means the listing of every file name and line number where a given named identifier occurs within the program's source tree. ▪ In a relational database management system, a table can have an xref as prefix or suffix to indicate it is a cross-reference table that joins two or more tables together via primary key.
