- arc
-
From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27)
Information about how to traverse a pair of resources, including the direction of traversal and possibly application behavior information as well, is called an arc
- embed
-
From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27)
An application traversing to the ending resource should load its presentation in place of the presentation of the starting resource. This is similar to the effect achieved by the following HTML fragment:<IMG SRC="http://www.example.org/smiley.gif" ALT=":-)">The presentation of the starting resource typically does not consist of an entire document; it would be the entire document only when the root element of the document is a simple link. Thus, embedding typically has an effect distinct from replacing.Just as for the HTML IMG element, embedding affects only the presentation of the relevant resources; it does not dictate permanent transformation of the starting resource. Put another way, when an embedded XLink is processed, the result of styling the ending resource of the link is merged into the result of styling the resource into which it is embedded. By contrast, when a construct such as an XInclude element is resolved, the original XML is actually transformed to include the referenced content.The behavior of conforming XLink applications when embedding XML-based ( or ) ending resources is not defined in this version of this specification.The presentation of embedded resources is application dependent.
- ending resource
-
From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27)
the destination is the ending resource
- extended link
-
From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27)
An extended link is a link that associates an arbitrary number of resources. The participating resources may be any combination of remote and local.
- extended links
-
From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27)
Extended links offer full XLink functionality, such as inbound and third-party arcs, as well as links that have arbitrary numbers of participating resources. As a result, their structure can be fairly complex, including elements for pointing to remote resources, elements for containing local resources, elements for specifying arc traversal rules, and elements for specifying human-readable resource and arc titles.XLink defines a way to give an extended link special semantics for finding linkbases; used in this fashion, an extended link helps an XLink application process other links.
- hyperlink
-
From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27)
A hyperlink is a link that is intended primarily for presentation to a human user.
- inbound
-
From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27)
If an arc's ending resource is local but its starting resource is remote, then the arc goes inbound.
- link
-
From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27)
An XLink link is an explicit relationship between resources or portions of resources.
- linkbases
-
From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27)
Documents containing collections of inbound and third-party links are called link databases, or linkbases.
- linking element
-
From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27)
It is made explicit by an XLink linking element, which is an XLink-conforming XML element that asserts the existence of a link.
- local resource
-
From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27)
A local resource is an XML element that participates in a link by virtue of having as its parent, or being itself, a linking element
- must
-
From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27)
The key words must, must not, required, shall, shall not, should, should not, recommended, may, and optional in this specification are to be interpreted as described in .
- new
-
From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27)
An application traversing to the ending resource should load it in a new window, frame, pane, or other relevant presentation context. This is similar to the effect achieved by the following HTML fragment:<A HREF="http://www.example.org" target="_blank">...</A>
- none
-
From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27)
The behavior of an application traversing to the ending resource is unconstrained by this specification. No other markup is present to help the application determine the appropriate behavior.
- onLoad
-
From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27)
An application should traverse to the ending resource immediately on loading the starting resource. This is similar to the effect typically achieved by the following HTML fragment, when the user agent is configured to display images:<IMG SRC="http://www.example.org/smiley.gif" ALT=":-)">If a single resource contains multiple arcs whose behavior is set to show="replace" actuate="onLoad", application behavior is unconstrained by XLink.
- onRequest
-
From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27)
An application should traverse from the starting resource to the ending resource only on a post-loading event triggered for the purpose of traversal. An example of such an event might be when a user clicks on the presentation of the starting resource, or a software module finishes a countdown that precedes a redirect.
- other
-
From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27)
The behavior of an application traversing to the ending resource is unconstrained by this specification. The application should look for other markup present in the link to determine the appropriate behavior.
- outbound
-
From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27)
An arc that has a local starting resource and a remote ending resource goes outbound, that is, away from the linking element.
- participate
-
From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27)
When a link associates a set of resources, those resources are said to participate in the link.
- remote resource
-
From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27)
Any resource or resource portion that participates in a link by virtue of being addressed with a URI reference is considered a remote resource, even if it is in the same XML document as the link, or even inside the same linking element.
