XLink Basics - A Little More...
(Page 6 of 6 )
And that's about it for this introduction to the wild and incredibly elastic world of XLink. In case you'd like to learn more about it, you should consider visiting the following links:
The W3C's XLink specification, at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xlink-20010627/ XLink design principles, at
http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/NOTE-xlink-principles-19980303 The XLink requirements specification, at
http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-xlink-req Zvon's XLink reference, at
http://zvon.org/xxl/xlink/Output/xlink_refs.html While the promise of XLink is tremedously exciting, there are as yet very few implementations of the technology, and so it's hard to truly grasp many of the applications that it makes possible. However, as the technology matures, expect to see XLinks gradually taking over from standard anchor tags, and data being linked in new and interesting ways.
Until that happens, though - stay healthy, and I'll see you soon!
