	XPointer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At the present time (late 2002), XPointer is divided among four specifications: a "framework" which forms the basis for identifying XML fragments, a positional element addressing scheme, a scheme for namespaces, and a scheme for XPath-based addressing.
		The XPointer language is designed to address structural aspects of XML, including text content and other information objects created as a result of parsing the document.
		XPointer is encumbered by a technology patent held by Sun Microsystems.

	XML Pitstop : Largest Source of XML Examples on the Web
		The XPointer xmlns() scheme is intended to be used with the XPointer Framework to allow correct interpretation of namespace prefixes in pointers, for instance, namespace-qualified scheme names and namespace-qualified element or attribute names appearing within scheme data.
		XPointer is the component of the XLink technology that's used to address parts of XML documents.
		XPointer provides much finer-grained control over the part of an XML document that can be addressed, which is in contrast to the general approach employed by HTML.

	XML Pointer Language (XPointer) Version 1.0
		XPointer is built on top of the XML Path Language [XPath], which is an expression language underlying the XSL Transformations (XSLT) language.
		XPointers (in URI references) also often appear in XML documents, which impose some escaping requirements of their own when the document encoding limits the repertoire that can be used directly.
		If an XPointer appears in a URI reference or IURI reference in an XML document, any characters not expressible in the encoding used for the XML document must be escaped as character references, and any characters that are significant to XML processing must be escaped as character references or as predefined entity references.

	XML Pointer Language — XPointer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		XPointer's goal is to define a mechanism for XML fragment identifiers.
		XPointer generalizes the concept of XPath nodes to locations, and, in essence, this generalization defines each location to be an XPath node, a point, or a range.
		In summary, XPointer's extensions to XPath's data model include the extension of the concept of nodes and node sets to that of locations and location sets (with the location being a node, a point, or a range).

		More specifically, XPointer allows you to walk the tree of nodes that make up an XML document to address a specific node or nodes.
		XPointer defines a syntax that is used to describe fragment identifiers, which in turn are used to specify parts of documents.

	Stand-off Markup: 2. XInclude and XPointer
		XInclude relies on XPointer for the expression of the actual fragments of text to be internalized.
		XPointer is a W3C standard providing a generic syntax to express references on an XML document through the use of schemes, i.e., different syntaxes for expressing locations within an XML document.
		The xpointer() scheme defines two additional concepts, points and ranges, that can be used to specify sub-node fragments (e.g., a few words within a longer text node) or trans-node fragments (e.g., a longish text spanning across different branches of the overall XML tree).

	XPointer - a Whatis.com definition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		XPointer is a language for locating data within an Extensible Markup Language (XML) document based on properties such as location within the document, character content, and attribute values.
		XPointer consists of a description that comes after the # symbol in a Uniform Resource Locator (URL).
		XPointer can be used alone or together with XPath, another language for locating data within an XML document.

	XML Schema: XPath and Xpointer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		An XPointer provides the location of an entire XML schema document or merely a set of schema components.
		Within an XML schema, predicates are valid only as part of an XPointer expression, which can be used only in conjunction with schema document (and part-of-document) locations.
		The XPath id function is a great way to locate a specific node, assuming that a node specifies an ID. Note that the XPointer Recommendation surmises that IDs are "most likely to survive document change." The thought is that the structure of the XML document might change: Elements might "move" relative to one another.

	[No title]
		The XPointer Framework document describes the Internet media types that the XPointer proposed recommendations apply to, as well as describing the syntax of the XPointer language.
		The purpose of the XPointer element() Scheme document is to describe how, in conjunction with the XPointer Framework, you’d use XPointer to address XML elements in an application.
		Finally, we have the XPointer xmlns() Scheme document, which describes the XML namespace used for XML Pointers, including namespace prefixes and namespace qualified names.

	XPointers
		XPointers use the same XPath syntax that you're familiar with from XSL transformations to identify the parts of the document they point to, along with a few additional pieces.
		XPointers enable you to target a given element by number, name, type, or relation, to other elements in the document.
		For the moment, therefore, an XPointer can be used as an index into a complete document, the whole of which is loaded and then positioned at the location identified by the XPointer, and even this much is more than most browsers can handle.

		The XPointer element() scheme allows the user to point to specific elements in XML documents and data, while the XPointer xmlns() scheme brings the power of XML Namespaces to the XPointer Framework, giving a way to avoid name collisions between schemes and provide namespace binding information for use within other schemes.
		As XPointer schemes are independently developed, the use of the XPointer xmlns() scheme distinguishes one scheme from another in a definitive manner.
		Another XPointer Scheme under development at W3C is the XPointer xpointer() Scheme, which relies on the W3C XML Path Language (XPath 1.0) Recommendation.

	O'Reilly Network Safari Bookshelf - XPath and XPointer
		XPath and XPointer are two closely related languages that play a key role in XML processing by allowing developers to find these needles and manipulate embedded information.
		XPath and XPointer fills an essential need for XML developers by focusing directly on a critical topic that has been covered only briefly.
		(The other context is XPointer, but that is not official W3C recommendation yet, and will be much more limited in use.) That means that a book that deals almost exclusively with XPath should give a better and fuller treatment of XPath than most of the XSLT related books in order to have added value.

		XPointer is an adjunct to URIs that allows XML resources to be addressed into (for example, by links, XML or otherwise).
		What XPointer adds to the mix is the ability to address arbitrary ranges of content, even if they don't form whole nodes.
		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.

	The XPointer xpath1() Scheme
		Like the xpointer() scheme, the xpath() scheme supports addressing into the internal structures of XML documents and external parsed entities, supporting addressing document's hierarchical structure and choice of its internal parts based on various properties, such as element types, attribute values, character content, and relative position.
		The XPointer set of specifications also includes shorthand pointers (based on ID values with their own complications) and support for an element()[13] scheme that is effectively a subset of XPath, but these offer considerably less functionality than XPath.
		Conforming XPointer processors claiming to support the xpath1() scheme must conform to the behavior defined in this specification and may conform to additional XPointer scheme specifications, including in particular the xpointer() scheme[14] which is a superset of the xpath1() scheme.

	Fragment Identifier for XML (FIXptr)
		XPointer [XPointer] is intended to be the definition of the fragment identifier language for the four main XML-related Internet media types [IETF RFC 3023].
		It is worth noting that there is only one implementation of XPointer that is known to be complete, and no vendors have adopted and deployed it.
		XPointers are typically generated, not hand-coded, and generated XPointers tend not to take advantage of built-in knowledge of the schema being used in order to avoid future breakage.

	XML: XLink and XPointer - Overview by Eve Maler
		XLink (the new name) is a package of hyperlinking functionality that comes in two parts: the "XLink" component (http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xlink) allows links in your XML documents to be recognized as such, and the "XPointer" component (http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xptr) allows your links to address into precise sub-parts of an XML document.
		XPointer is a little mini-language that you can stick on the end of a URL after the #, in the case where the URL points to an XML document.
		The best part about XPointer is that, if you do addressing this way, your link will probably be more robust against some change in the target document.

	xmlhack: Will a Sun patent burn XPointer?
		Since Elliotte Rusty Harold recommended "complete rejection of this specification until such time as Sun's patent can be dealt with more reasonably," the XML-dev mailing list has been discussing the licensing terms for the patent.
		Daniel Veillard, who chaired XPointer meetings on the subject, noted that "We can't chase them all and if we did we would make no progress every effort would be wasted doing those Patent lookups and fighting them :-(((," though he clearly had little sympathy for the patent itself.
		Len Bullard cited prior art from Unisys and the US Army Missile Command, and noted that "The US Army might prove to be a tough problem for Sun lawyers.
