Analysing XLink

[Lloyd Rutledge]

Les Carr of the University of Southampton has asked me to pass this email
along as a post to this group.  It discusses an XLink implementation
that he has begun.  His entry is at the bottom of this post.

******************************************************************************

As part of the Open Hypermedia Community's "Response to XLink" I have started
to implement a set of JAVA packages for developing XLink-aware applications.

Currently it is at a fairly rudimentary stage testing-wise, but I have
mainly concentrated on trying to make high-level link processing methods
that are generally useful. There is currently ONE sample application scenario,
based on the LTXML group's ``Knit'' utility, although others are planned.

A document describing the work so far can be found at
	http://journals.ecs.soton.ac.uk/xml4j/xlinkexperience.html
If you would like to have a copy of the software as it exists, please let
me know. (It builds on top of IBM's XML4JAVA parser & XPointer packages,
but it has added better support for string()-based pointers.)
