Can be transformed to RDF?

One RDF use include to include other RDFs.

XLink and HLink: http://www.xml.com/lpt/a/1038

Enhancements to html link

1. When to actuate the link
   In current html link impl, the link is actuated when it is clicked. In XLink and HLink, a link can be actuated when the page containing the link is loaded
2. More effects when a link is actuated.
   embed, new, replace, etc.
3. HLink supports creation of arbitrary link element.

   <hlink namespace="http://www.example.com/markup"
          element="home"
          locator="/"
          effect="replace"
          actuate="onRequest"/>
   <hlink namespace="http://www.example.com/markup"
          element="home"
          locator="/icons/home.png"
          effect="embed"
          actuate="onLoad"/>
   
   <home/>

4. XLink supports creation of links among more than two resources.
5. Add more metadata to links
6. Links can be specified outside the linked resources.
   In HTML, users can only specify links within the source resource.
   When you write

    <a href=”destination.resource”>source</a>

   this piece of code must be located in the source html. In other words, the user cannot specify links among external resources.
   XLink adds this support.
