simple link

From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27) | Glossary for this source

simple links

From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27) | Glossary for this source

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.
