Abstract

In the linking model of the World Wide Web each link is stored in the referring document within an attribute of the A tag. All the hyperlink defined this way can reference a single resource or a single fragment. With the evolution of Web technologies more powerful linking languages (XLink and XPointer) have been proposed.Here we introduce XLinkProxy, a Web application that allows sophisticated hyperlink (defined using XLink and XPointer) to be defined outside referring documents, giving users the chance to build dynamic multidestination, multidirectional links databases.
