Aide config items meaning

What are the meanings for
1) inode
2) number of links

If the inode changes, it means the file/directory has been "reallocated" physically in the harddisk?

number of links for symbolic links or what?

Other means I understand. Feel free to drop your comments if you want those explanations.
