I All, recently I have read SML specification and in particular sml reference me= chanism in XML instance document. However I don't understand the reason o= f introducing a new mechanism instead of using xlink. Are there some advantages in using sml:ref? If yes...which ones? That is to say...about this example: <EnrolledCourse sml:ref=3D"true"> <Name>PHY101</Name> <Grade>A</Grade> <sml:uri> http://www.university.example.org/Universities/MIT/Cour= ses.xml #xmlns(u=3Dhttp://www.university.example.org/ns) xpointer(/u:Courses/u:Course[u:Name=3D'PHY101']) </sml:uri> </EnrolledCourse> Why not like that? <EnrolledCourse> <Name>PHY101</Name> <Grade>A</Grade> <environment xmlns:xlink=3D"http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:type=3D"extended"> <course xlink:type=3D"locator" xlink:label=3D"course" xlink:href=3D"http://www.university.example.org/Universities/MIT/Courses.= xml #xmlns(u=3Dhttp://www.university.example.org/ns) xpointer(/u:Co= urses/u:Course[u:Name=3D'PHY101'])"/> </enviroment> </EnrolledCourse> Best regards..
