Abstract
The Web Consortium's XML Linking working group is developing specifications to enable more advanced hypertext functionality on the Web: in particular fine-grained anchors, external annotation, and bidirectional links. This pa per examines basic goals and approaches; describes HTML linking limitations XML Linking seeks to overcome; and surveys the Working Group's primary spe cifications: XPath, XPointer, and XLink. As of this writing, the last two, while well advanced, are not final recommendations, and so are subject to c hange. Consult the W3C Web site for the latest versions.
