This article presents a model for persistent, location-independent references intended for linking resources on the Internet as well as documents which are only available on a local system. A part of the proposed model has already been implemented in an application for writing digital commentaries, named Assistant for Philological Explorations (APE). The technical details of this implementation related to persistent linking are described and a few prospects for its future development are outlined.
