 For a Span with a parent, the `TraceId` MUST be the same as the parent.

+The option for creating a span as a root span should allow to choose whether the

 A `Span` is said to have a _remote parent_ if it is the child of a `Span`
 created in another process. Each propagators' deserialization must set
 `IsRemote` to true on a parent `SpanContext` so `Span` creation knows if the

+# Link Conventions

+This document is about standard attributes for
+[Links](api-tracing.md#add-links).
+
+## Document conventions
+
+Attributes are divided into groups, describing certain characteristics of a
+link. Attributes in each group start with a specified prefix and a dot.
+
+Attribute groups in this document have a **Required** column. If a link has at
+least one attribute from the group, then it MUST also contain all the required
+attributes of the group.

+
+### Ignored parent
+
+**Prefix:** parent
+
+**Description:** These attributes are used to denote a span context that was
+ignored during a span creation as a parent and thus became only linked to the
+span.
+
+| Attribute | Description | Example | Required? |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| parent.kind | Kind of ignored span context. It MUST be either "local" or "remote". "local" denotes a span context that was a part of a current span at the time of a creation of the link. "remote" denotes a span context that was a part of remote span at the time of a creation of the link. | "local" | Yes |
