Example of simple XLinks

The XLink code behind the links from the left side (colored in blue) is detailed in the right side.

The root element must have declared the xlink namespace:

<DOC xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> ..... </DOC>
Resolution 2,240 x 1,680 pixels (interpolated) 1,856 x 1,392 pixels 1,856 x 1,232 pixels 1,280 x 960 pixels 640 x 480pixels Opens in the same window <link xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="specs.xml#interpolated" xlink:title="What is this interpolated all about?">interpolated</link>
Colour depth 24 Bit (16.7 million colours)
Image sensor 1/1.8" CCD chip with 3,340,000 pixels Opens in a new window <link xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="specs.xml#ccd" xlink:actuate="onRequest" xlink:show="new" xlink:title="Find out what CCD means">CCD</link>
Image format JPEG (.jpg), TIFF (.tif) or MPEG video (.mpg) Opens in the same window. Same situation like 'interpolated'. actuate="onRequest" and show="replace" are set by default there. <link xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="specs.xml#mpeg" xlink:actuate="onRequest" xlink:show="replace" xlink:title="About MPEG compression">MPEG</link>
Storage in DCF standard yes show="embed" replaces this xlink link node with the target node. NOTE: not supported at the moment! See message logger after clicking on the link! <link xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="specs.xml#dcf" xlink:actuate="onRequest" xlink:show="embed" xlink:title="More details on DCF">DCF</link>
DPOF-support yes This link opens the dpof.xml document which will popup a new window with a document representing a recomandation/solution for this specific problem. The owner of dpof.xml page wants that all its visitors to see this recomandation/solution in a new popup window. <link xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="dpof-solution.xml" xlink:actuate="onLoad" xlink:show="new" xlink:title="A DPOF-support solution">DPOF-support solution</link>
Internal flash memory no The owner of this specification file, to which we'll go by clicking on this flash memory, wrote a new specification. He doesn't want to delete the old one. He only wants to show the new specification, so it does a redirection to it with a simple onload xlink that will be found in the flashmem-2002-Spec.xml file, looking like this: <link xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="flashmem-2003-Spec.xml" xlink:actuate="onLoad" xlink:show="replace" xlink:title="Flash memory documentation for 2003">flash memory 2003 spec</link>
Removable memory Memory Stick. 8 Mbyte removable memory media included. Inserted in the left side of the camera Scrolls to id="photo" <link xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="#photo" xlink:title="See Camera ABC from top">camera</link>
Number of pictures per battery filling up to 2000 images or up to 2 hours operating time The target of operating time will ask us first for the type of battery. There will be three choises given by three onload simple XLinks and we have to decide for which one of them we want to see the operating time. These will be in op-time.xml: <link xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="#default" xlink:actuate="onLoad">Default battery</link> <link xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="op-time-batteryII.xml" xlink:actuate="onLoad">Battery type II</link> <link xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="op-time-batteryIII.xml" xlink:actuate="onLoad">Battery type III</link>
Image deletion at the camera single pictures / all pictures Similar to the situation above with operating time. The difference is that on load of Image deletion one link will be oppened in a new window. The user will have to choose between two links to be redirected to. The target Image deletion will contain: <link xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="img-del-typeI.xml" xlink:actuate="onLoad">Image deletion type I</link> <link xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="img-del-typeII.xml" xlink:actuate="onLoad">Image deletion type II</link> <link xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="img-del-advice" xlink:actuate="onLoad" xlink:show="new">Image deletion advice</link>
Power supply 1 x Li-Ion-rechargeable battery AC adaptor The owner of the target (click on Li-Ion-rechargeable to get to the target) decided to redirect the users from li-ion-default.xml to a newer type of battery. Also there will be poped up another two documents of two other devices using this type of battery. These links will be in the target document: <link xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="li-ion-newmodel.xml" xlink:actuate="onLoad" xlink:show="replace">Li-Ion New Model Battery</link> <link xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="deviceA.xml" xlink:actuate="onLoad" xlink:show="new">Device A</link> <link xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="deviceB.xml" xlink:actuate="onLoad" xlink:show="new">Device B</link>
Connection to computer USB interface Simple xlink, with XPath child sequense 1 <link xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="specs.xml#xpointer(/doc/chapter[4]/section/p[2])" xlink:title="See the USB paragraph">USB interface</link>
Other connectors AC adaptor input, PAL/NTSC video output (switchable), audio output Simple xlink, with XPath child sequense 2 <link xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="specs.xml#xpointer(/1/5/3/4)" xlink:title:="See PAL/NTSC paragraph">PAL/NTSC</link>
