Title: Xlink Isn't Dead
GML
(Geography Markup Language) also relies on XLink for semantic association and represents
a growing community, riding a gradual uptake of OGC WFS services.
With metadata standards rapidly maturing
in this domain, the GML community is coming to a point where enterprise support
for GML will require custom XLink models/processors.
Previous experiences with XLink have left
me thinking that the effort/reward ratio is far too low.
I’m interested by the direction of
this thread though.

Subject: Xlink Isn't
Dead
Having searched in vain for mentions of Xlink in
anything other than XBRL, I can see why it looks dead. Although most XBRL
advocates avoid talking about it, XBRL cannot exist without XLink, and it's a
growing financial markup language. Essentially XBRL compiles metadata into
taxonomies(linkbases) executable through Xlink.
The major current drawback to XBRL dissemination is
the lack of open source Xlink software, one thing the XBRL communities keep
wishing for but won't fund.
