From Hypertext Terms (1995-04-15) | Glossary for this source
A link in one direction implied from the existence of an
explicit limk in the other direction. See:

- extended link

From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27) | Glossary for this source
An extended link is a link that associates an arbitrary number of resources. The participating resources may be any combination of remote and local.

From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27) | Glossary for this source
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) | Glossary for this source
A hyperlink is a link that is intended primarily for presentation to a human user.
- link
-
From Web Characterization Terminology & Definitions Sheet (1999-05-24) | Glossary for this source
A link expresses one or more (explicit or implicit)
relationships between two or more resources.
Note: The type of the relationship can
describe relationships like "authored by", "embedded", etc. Types
can themselves be identified by URIs as for example is the case
for
RDF
.

From Glossary of "Weaving the Web" (1999-07-23) | Glossary for this source
A reference from one document to another (external link), or
from one location in the same document to another (internal link),
that can be followed efficiently using a computer. The unit of
connection in hypertext.

or document or throws an event in the current form item.

one resource (representation) refers to the other resource by means

From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27) | Glossary for this source
An XLink link is an explicit relationship between resources or portions of resources.

From Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (1999-05-05) | Glossary for this source
The rendered text content of a link.

From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27) | Glossary for this source
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) | Glossary for this source
It is made explicit by an XLink linking element, which is an XLink-conforming XML element that asserts the existence of a link.
- simple link
-
From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27) | Glossary for this source
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) | 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.
- XLL (eXtensible linking language)
-
From Requirements for String Identity Matching and String Indexing (1998-07-10) | Glossary for this source
Linking support for XML. XLL defines the #anchor syntax component of URIs for XML. A syntax for identifying elements in a document tree (e.g. based on element names that can contain arbitrary characters in XML), as well as for identifying portions of text, is defined. For consistent identification of portions of text, either or both of string identity matching and string indexing are necessary.
