Linking in XHTML 2.0

By Micah Dubinko
2005-05-04


Resources

• Check out Robin Cover?s archive, which includes a thorough compendium of documents on XML and linking. So closely were these topics tied together that many of the earlier links appear under the XML page. Others appear under the XLL page.

• Get an alternate viewpoint on XHTML linking through " A Hyperlink Offering," the author?s fictional account of a discussion between two literary characters about some of the challenges of hypertext linking.

• Go straight to the source and read the XLink 1.0 W3C Recommendation.

• Next, compare notes with the HLink Working Draft, dated September 2002 (and not likely to be updated again).

• Finally, read the latest XHTML 2.0 Working Draft to see the current status of linking in XHTML.

• Read about the replacement for frames (that?s often used with the target attribute), XFrames, a W3C Working Draft that works alongside XHTML 2.0.

• See if new specifications or documents are under development at the W3C -- consult the Technical Reports page.

• Read the full text of the O?Reilly book XForms Essentials online. XForms takes a similar approach to linking as XHTML 2.0. You can also order the book from the developerWorks Developer Bookstore.

• Want a more complete understanding of how all the major XML standards interrelate? Check out Uche Ogbuji?s excellent four-part survey of XML standards here on developerWorks:

Part 1 -- The core standards (January 2004)
Part 2 -- XML processing standards (February 2004)
Part 3 -- The most important vocabularies (February 2004)
Part 4 -- Detailed cross-reference of the most important XML standards (March 2004)

• Find more XML resources on the developerWorks XML zone.

• Learn how you can become an IBM Certified Developer in XML and related technologies.
