XML for Data: XLink and data
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-xdxlnk?open&l=766,t=grx,p=Xlink2
To quote the W3C XLink specification: "[T]he XML Linking Language (XLink) ... allows elements to be inserted into XML documents in order to create and describe links between resources." The specification then goes on to assert that links defined using XLink are similar to HTML hyperlinks, leading many programmers to conclude that this is the only purpose for the specification. However, there is another way XLink can be used to great benefit: to show the relationships between data resources.

In terms both of power and simplicity, the combination of XML and XSL has revolutionized data storage and manipulation in a way not seen since the early days of the SQL database language. XML provides a clear and independent way of recoding data that is easily shared and understood. Similarly, many people feel that XSL is also easy to read, write, and understand. Clearly, this powerful duo are essential knowledge for everyone involved in the technology industry.
