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
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.

The XML Linking Working Group has completed its work and is no longer active.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.

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
W3C Recommendation 12 February 2002:
Abstract
This document specifies XML digital signature processing rules and syntax. XML Signatures provide integrity, message authentication, andor signer authentication services for data of any type, whether located within the XML that includes the signature or elsewhere.

This specification defines the XML Pointer Language (XPointer), the language to be used as the basis for a fragment identifier for any URI reference that locates a resource whose Internet media type is one of text/xml, application/xml, text/xml-external-parsed-entity, or application/xml-external-parsed-entity [IETF RFC 2376]. This specification does not constrain the syntax or semantics of URI references to resources of other media types, although it provides extension facilities that may be used with other types.
XPointer supports addressing into
