The XLink specification defines constructs that describe links between objects. These constructs may be inserted into either XML DTDs or XML document instances. The behavior of these links can resemble that of a simple HTML link, or exhibit more sophisticated behavior. This document also covers using the "xlink:" namespace, explanations of XLink's behavior (show and actuate) and semantic (role and title) attributes, plus basic definitions of simple links, extended links, and extended link groups.
