replace

From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27)

An application traversing to the ending resource should load the resource in the same window, frame, pane, or other relevant presentation context in which the starting resource was loaded. This is similar to the effect achieved by the following HTML fragment:<A HREF="http://www.example.org" target="_self">...</A>
resource

simple link

From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27)

A simple link is a link that associates exactly two resources, one local and one remote, with an arc going from the former to the latter. Thus, a simple link is always an outbound link.
simple links

From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27)

Simple links offer shorthand syntax for a common kind of link, an outbound link with exactly two participating resources (into which category HTML-style A and IMG links fall). Because simple links offer less functionality than extended links, they have no special internal structure.While simple links are conceptually a subset of extended links, they are syntactically different. For example, to convert a simple link into an extended link, several structural changes would be needed.
starting resource

From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27)

the source from which traversal is begun is the starting resource
third-party

From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27)

If neither the starting resource nor the ending resource is local, then the arc is a third-party arc.
traversal

From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27)

Using or following a link for any purpose is called traversal.
