A group named Web consortium XML linking is creating stipulations to facilitate more superior hypertext functionality on web. This description is about the goals and approaches of XML linking. It also describe the HTML linking limitations seeks to overcome the XML linking. Once the linking is done it does the survey of working groups main specifications.
A short description about background of xml linking is mentioned below:
You might know HTML tag set and element type such as A are most in use and famous as well. However, still there are
XLink Attribute Usage Patterns
While the XLink attributes are considered global by virtue of their use of the namespace mechanism, their allowed combinations on any one XLink element type depend greatly on the value of the special type attribute (see [XLink Element Type Attribute (] for more information) for the element on which they appear. The conformance constraint notes in this specification detail their allowed usage patterns. Following is a summary of the element types (columns) on which the global attributes (rows) are allowed, with an
This document specifies XML syntax and processing rules for creating and representing digital signatures. XML Signatures can be appliedto any digital content (data object), including XML. An XML Signature may be applied to the content of one or more resources.Enveloped or enveloping signatures are over data within the same XML document as the signature; detached signatures are over data external to the signature element. More specifically, this specification defines an XML signature element type and an XML signature application; conformance requirements
XPointer is based largely upon a widely-used technology, the Text Encoding Initiative "extended pointer" [Sperberg-McQueen 1994], [Ide 1995]. Extended pointers provide axes for navigating within trees and a rudimentary predicate language for selecting nodes along axes, and have been implemented in several SGML-based browsing systems.
TEI extended pointers introduced "location terms" including root, here, id, child, descendant, ancestor, previous (sibling), next (sibling), preceding, following, and pattern (content matching by regular expressions) --
