ABSTRACT
This paper is devoted to the construction of processors of a language for describing links between resources in XML documents, which is based on the application of functional programming methods and representation of XML data as S-expressions. An implementation in the high-level functional programming language Scheme, the system SXLink compatible with the XLink specification of the W3 consortium, is considered. A survey and comparative analysis of the existing implementations of the XLink language are given. Typical difficulties associated
Introduction
This specification defines the XML Linking Language (XLink), which allows elements to be inserted into XML documents in order to create and describe Link between resources.
XLink provides a framework for creating both basic unidirectional links and more complex linking structures. It allows XML documents to:
*
Assert linking relationships among more than two resources
*
Associate metadata with a link
*
Express links that reside in a location separate from the linked resources
An important application of XLink is in
[April 29, 2005] First Public Working Draft for XML Linking Language (XLink) Version 1.1. The W3C XML Core Working Group has produced a First Public Working Draft for XML Linking Language (XLink) Version 1.1 and requests feedback from W3C Members and other interested parties. XLink Version 1.0 was approved as a W3C Recommendation in June 2001. The XLink Version 1.1 Working Draft defines mechanisms to allow markup constructs "to be inserted into XML documents in order to create and describe links between resources. It uses XML syntax to create
XML Linking Language (XLink) is a generic framework for expressing links in XML documents, to complete its placement in hypertext systems such as the Web. It can be used to create simple links, such as those that are an essential part of HTML documents, or more complex types of links, such as multiended links and link databases.
XML Linking Language (XLink) Version 1.0 [W3C Recommendation] provides a generic framework for expressing links in XML documents. Hypertext, which requires linking, is the foundation of the Web, and adding sophisticated
Description
XLink defines how to insert links in XML documents. It specifies a framework making it possible for XML applications to recognize XML elements as having link semantics. In addition to the simple, two-ended, unidirectional links which are well-known from HTML, XLink allows more general links, which must not be embedded in the document, can have any number of ends, and can be multidirectional.
XLink is the XML Linking Language. It allows elements to be inserted into XML documents in order to create and describe links between
Abstract
This specification defines the XML Linking Language (XLink), which allows elements to be inserted into XML documents in order to create and describe links between resources. It uses XML syntax to create structures that can describe links similar to the simple unidirectional hyperlinks of today's HTML, as well as more sophisticated links.

Introduction
Formerly also known as XLink and XLL (eXtensible Linking Language), XML Linking provides the mechanism needed by XML to interconnect. It's role is comparable to HTML's <a href="something.html">...</a> tag, but with many more possibilities. It should be noted, though, that there is practically no browser support for the additional functionality. Of course, XML Linking only works in XML enabled programs.
Working
Any XML element can be used as a link by adding an xlink:type attribute to the element, provided the
The XML Linking Working Group has completed its work and is no longer active. The XML Activity Statement discusses the W3C's work on XML as a whole; the XML Linking Working Group's final charter covers its last set of work on XML Linking and XPointer in more detail. Responsibility for maintenance of documents issued by the WG rests with the XML Core Working Group in the first instance.
A public registry for XPointer schemes is available.

Introduction :
The XML Linking Language [XLink] defines Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 [XML] constructs to describe links between resources. One of the stated requirements on XLink is to support HTML [HTML40] linking constructs in a generic way. The HTML BASE element is one such construct which the XLink Working Group has considered. BASE allows authors to explicitly specify a document's base URI for the purpose of resolving relative URIs in links to external images, applets, form-processing programs, style sheets, and so on.

Abstract:
This document proposes a facility, similar to that of HTML BASE, for defining base URIs for parts of XML documents.

This document has been reviewed by W3C Members and other interested parties and has been endorsed by the Director as a W3C Recommendation. It is a stable document and may be used as reference material or cited as a normative reference from another document. W3C's role in making the Recommendation is to draw attention to the specification and to promote its widespread deployment. This enhances the
