                        <p>Both XLink [XLink] and RDF [RDF] provide a way of asserting relations between
resources. RDF is primarily for describing resources and their
relations, while XLink is primarily for specifying and traversing
hyperlinks. However, the overlap between the two is sufficient that
a mapping from XLink links to statements in an RDF model can be
defined. Such a mapping allows XLink elements to be harvested as a
source of RDF statements. XLink links (hereafter, "links") thus
provide an alternate syntax for RDF information that may be useful
in some situations.</p>
                        <p>This Note specifies such a mapping, so that links can be
harvested and RDF statements generated. The purpose of this
harvesting is to create RDF models that, in some sense, represent
the <em>intent</em> of the XML document. The purpose is
<em>not</em> to represent the XLink structure in enough detail that
a set of links could be round-tripped through an RDF model.</p>
