XLink

XLink allows an element to behave like a hyperlink. It exists as a special namespace that should be declared in an ancestor element.
xlink:actuate specifies when the linked resource is read and shown. The valid values are 'onLoad', 'onRequest', 'other', and 'none'.
xlink:href specifies the URL of the resource.
xlink:show specifies where to open the link. The valid values are 'embed', 'new', 'replace', 'other', and 'none'.
xlink:type specifies the type of the link. The valid values are 'simple', 'extended', 'locator', 'arc', 'resource', 'title', and 'none'.
xlink:role, xlink:arcrole, and xlink:title describe the meaning of the resources within the context of the link.
xlink:label, xlink:from, and xlink:to are used for traversal.
