TITLE, ABSTRACT AND STATUS SECTIONS

XML Linking Language (XLink) Version 1.1

Abstract
--------
This specification defines the XML Linking Language (XLink) 
Version 1.1, which allows elements to be inserted into XML 
documents in order to create and describe links between 
resources. It uses XML syntax to create structures that 
can describe links similar to the simple unidirectional 
hyperlinks of today's HTML, as well as more sophisticated links.
