document: Xspect : bridging open hypermedia and XLink This paper evaluates the XLink format in comparison with other linking formats . The comparison is based on Xspect , an implementation of XLink . Xspect handles transformation between an open hypermedia format ( OHIF ) and XLink , and the paper discusses this isomorphic transformation and generalises it to include another open hypermedia format , FOHM . The Xspect system , based on XSLT and Javascript , provides users with an interface to browse and merge linkbases . Xspect supports navigational hypermedia in the form of links inserted on the fly into Web pages , as well as guided tours presented as SVG . Xspect has two implementations : one server-side and one running on the client . Both implementation provide the user with an interface for the creation of annotations . The main result of the paper is a critique of XLink . XLink is shown to be a format well suited for navigational hypermedia , but lacking in more advanced constructs . More problematic are the issues regarding large-scale use , such as evaluating validity and credibility of linkbases , and ensuring general support for a format as flexible as XLink .
