Linear Tape File System: History, Technology & Standards
The Linear Tape File System (LTFS) is a file system that allows files stored on magnetic tape to be accessed in a similar fashion to those on disk or removable flash drives. It requires both a specific format of data on the tape media and software to provide a file system interface to the data.

Connections between topic areas Semantic bridges
Semantic bridges connect parts of the graph that would otherwise be more separate. A bridge is a structural signal in this analysis, not a claim that the two topic areas are equivalent.
For Linear Tape File System, one of the stronger structural bridges in this analysis connects Linear Tape File System with History. Bridges highlight paths between different parts of the map and can reveal research angles that are easy to miss in a flat list.
