 ** Attributes **   <a name="amazoncds-Type-TypedLinkFacet-Attributes"></a>
A set of key-value pairs associated with the typed link. Typed link attributes are used when you have data values that are related to the link itself, and not to one of the two objects being linked. Identity attributes also serve to distinguish the link from others of the same type between the same objects.

 ** IdentityAttributeOrder **   <a name="amazoncds-Type-TypedLinkFacet-IdentityAttributeOrder"></a>

See [ListOutgoingTypedLinks](API_ListOutgoingTypedLinks.md) and [ListIncomingTypedLinks](API_ListIncomingTypedLinks.md) for details.  
Type: Array of strings  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 230.
