Abstract
We introduce a new standard form of a Seifert surface . In that standard form, is obtained by successively plumbing flat annuli to a disk , where the gluing regions are all in . We show that any link has a Seifert surface in the standard form, and thereby present a new way of coding a link. We present an algorithm to read the code directly from a braid presentation.
