ABSTRACT:  xlinkit is a lightweight application service that provides 
rule-based link
generation and checks the consistency of distributed web content. It leverages
standard Internet technologies, notably XML and XLink. xlinkit can be used 
as part
of a consistency management scheme or in applications that require smart link
generation, including portal construction and management of large document 
repositories.
In this talk I will show how consistency constraints can be expressed and 
checked. I
will describe a method for generating links based on the result of the 
checks and give
an account of our content management strategy.
