__NOTOC__
'''XLink''' is a W3C specification that specifies ways to define links between various resources. It partially originated from the early TEI ideas on extended links and extended pointer syntax (later on, the extended pointer syntax ended up in the [[XPointer]] spec).

It is not used by the current Guidelines, though it may be plugged into a TEI extension, e.g. via [[Roma]] or [[Vesta]], by means of something like the [[XLink.odd]]. It is used by e.g. the [http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/ Scalable Vector Graphics] and [[METS]]. Of course, (X)HTML links are non-conforming versions of XLink simple links.
