Topic: XLink


In the News (Wed 19 Nov 08)

  
  XLink - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The XML Linking Language, or XLink, is an XML markup language used for creating hyperlinks within XML documents.
XLink would have allowed elements to be inserted into XML documents in order to create and describe links between resources, whether internal or external to the original document.
XLink also supported richer information about link types and the roles of each resource that an XLink connects.

 XML Linking Language (XLink) Version 1.0   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
XLink uses the mechanism described in the Namespaces in XML Recommendation [XML Names] to accomplish recognition of the constructs in the XLink vocabulary.
In cases where the values of the desired XLink attributes are unchanging across individual instances in all the documents of a certain type, attribute value defaults (fixed or not) may be added to a DTD so that the attributes do not have to appear physically on element start-tags.
Specifically, on loading a linkbase arc, an XLink application should keep track of what the starting resource is. Whenever a document containing that starting resource is loaded and traversal of the linkbase arc is actuated, the application should access the linkbase and extract any extended links found inside it.

XLink would be used by other company pages to link to the (start of) the contact page.
Essentially, XLink is applied to a document by decorating elements with attributes from the XLink namespace, http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink.
XPointer is used with XLink to refine links pointing to an entire XML document to pointing to a specific element or even a character within the target XML document.

 Proposed XLink Improvements
XLink was designed in the age of DTDs and the idea of relying on the DTD to provide default attribute values to work around this inconvenience didn't seem unreasonable.
Extending XLink 1.0, that describes a few small changes that could be made to XLink to improve it's usability.
In the meantime there are other small improvements in XLink that could be accomplished in the 1.1 release contemplated by the Note.

 Separating Links from Content using XML, XLink and XPointer
With XLink the answer is that the links are stored in a standalone XML resource referred to as a linkbase.
In a very general sense, an XLink application is one that can interpret XML containing elements and attributes from the XLink namespace and that also complies with the rules of the XLink specification.
With the advent of XLink and the technology available on the market today, it is now possible to build applications that link XML content in powerful new ways.

 The Problem with XLink
Even if XLink did not directly provide interoperability, it could be a terrific boon to software developers and indirectly to interoperability if it provided a basis for various kinds of "linking engines" that were significantly easier to work with than proprietary linking schemes.
Second, XLink will not achieve economies of scale if it is restricted to only a small subset of the XML processing world.
XLink either needs to become cheaper than the alternative or provide some significant functionality in terms of interopreability or associatd standards.

 XLink Filter Project - simonstl.com
As shown in Figure 1 (to the right) the XLink Filter uses John Cowan's ParserFilter class to insert itself between the parser and the application.
The XLink filter (derived from the ParserFilter) passes all SAX events on to the application, which can do its own processing of the XML document represented by the SAX events, but only after noting all the XLink information contained in the document.
The main thing the application will gain from the XLink Filter is convenience - developers won't have to build the XLink processing into their SAX event handlers, and can use a standard interface to linking information rather than having to rebuild that interface with each new application.

 Sun XML | Developer Connection   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
In XLink, you simply provide a URI reference for both the starting point and the ending point — no permissions are required for either one, and there's no need to edit the starting points to fix them when the ending points get moved around.
XLink defines a way for link processors to hunt down linkbases that might be relevant for a document, so that the starting points can be traversed.
XLink and XPointer (along with XML Base, another specification owned by the XML Linking WG) are in the W3C Candidate Recommendation phase, during which the W3C actively seeks implementation experience.

 XML for Data: XLink and data
However, there is another way XLink can be used to great benefit: to show the relationships between data resources.
If you are using a relational database that is URL-addressable -- most relational databases either already provide this functionality or will very soon -- you can create an accessor (such as a stored procedure) that would allow the information to be retrieved on the fly, as in the fictitious example in Listing 6.
It looks only at the way to use simple links; XLink also provides extended link functionality, which you can use to relate many resources together (you might create an XLink linkbase that relates a customer to all of his or her orders, for example).

 XML Linking Language (XLink): XLink Markup Design
XLink uses the mechanism described in the Namespaces in XML Recommendation [xname] to accomplish recognition of the constructs in the XLink vocabulary.
As dictated by [xname], the use of XLink elements and attributes requires declaration of the XLink namespace.
The xlink prefix is used throughout to stand for the declaration of the XLink namespace on elements in whose scope the so-marked attribute appears (on the same element that bears the attribute or on some ancestor element), whether or not an XLink namespace declaration is present in the example.

 XML.com: XLink: Who Cares?
The first two columns list the two categories of links: simple links, which associate a single local resource to a single remote resource, and extended links, which can link multiple resources, all of which may be external to the document containing the link markup.
The xlinkit folks also have a free XLink extended link processor called XTooX that reads a document with extended links, reads in any resources referenced by those links, and creates new versions of those resources with the links incorporated into them.
RDDL, an effort to put something usable at the address referenced by a namespace URL, uses XLink syntax to specify the relationship between the URL and other resources.

This element serves as an XLink to the referenced resource, and contains a human-readable description of the resource and machine readable links which describe the purpose of the link and the nature of the resource being linked to.
XLink, when present the URI part must be an absolute URI.
When the related resource is an XML language for which a namespace name has been defined, and for which the namespace name adequately distinguishes the nature of the resource, the namespace name should be used as its nature.

 Cover Pages: First Public Working Draft for XML Linking Language (XLink) Version 1.1.
XLink Version 1.0 was approved as a W3C Recommendation in June 2001.
XLink is not without its critics and the changes in this specification do not address all of the criticisms that have been leveled at XLink.
When XLink 1.0 was developed, it seemed reasonable to depend on DTD validation to provide this default value when it was a burden to authors to enter it by hand.

 Practical XLink
XLink used to be the hot topic in the XML world, but lately, it seems to have been shadowed by just about everything, from ebXML to XSL, from XML Signature to SVG.
If simple XLink is used, a normalization of the resources during document loading is sufficient, provided that the fragment uses the same DTD as the source, and that the structure is allowed in the context.
Develop an XLink Application Programmer's Interface (API) and have your developers use it instead of forcing them to unnecesarily duplicate DOM operations client-side when all they really need is to access some well-defined XLink-related task.

 Experiences with an XLink Implementation
The aim of this work has been to produce a collection of classes that support XLink processing, identifying and resolving the data that is pointed at by the XLink locators, and allowing application-defined semantics to be brought to bear on those combinations of data.
An initial objective was to re-create the Knit application, designed by the Language Technology at Edinburgh as part of the LTXML package, which performed ‘transclusion’ operations to replace inline, simple id()-based links in an XML file with the data object to which it was linked.
Links are obtained as normal from the document, from any file referenced as part of an XLink extended link group, but in addition a default file of links is examined in the current directory under the name ".linkbase.xml".
