Guide Review - XPath, XLink, XPointer, and XML by Erik Wilde and David Lowe
There are hundreds of technologies used within the Web from WAP to PNG to SMIL to CSS, and more. And the ideal situation would have all of these technologies available to one another. This is what hyperlinking on the Web is all about, and this book covers both the basics of creating paths to XML objects (XPath) to actually linking to those objects (XLink) and all the items in between. Web developers that are working on XML applications will need this book.
