Although the Web has grown continuously since its introduction in the early 90's, its technical foundations have remained relatively stable. However, the introduction of XML, along with a sequence of related technologies such as XPath, XLink, and XPointer, has heralded a substantial change in the way in which content can be managed. The most significant of these changes is with respect to the hypermedia functionality which is enabled by the new technologies of XLink and XPointer, especially richer linking and navigation models. This book will describe the new hypermedia features of the XLink/XPointer-enabled Web for developers who are interested in how these new concepts can be used for Web publishing. This book will offer its readers an overview of hypertext and hypermedia possibilities as well as the possibilities of the particular hypertext technologies that are currently being developed for the Web.
