Abstract:  
The World Wide Web Consortium specification (W3C) defines the XML Linking Language (XLink), which allows elements to be inserted into XML documents in order to create and describe links between resources. XLink provides a framework for creating both basic unidirectional links and more complex linking structures. As well as more sophisticated links, we may use XML syntax to create structures that can describe links, similar to the simple unidirectional hyperlinks of today's HTML. In the next pages, there are presented: how XML Link works, what are the requested terms, concepts, elements and atributes for a proper understanding and used of XLink syntax, how we build this XLink construction
