XPath with FilePath

Is there any standard (or practical) notation for expressing filepath and xpath together?

Such as...

xml.xml:///a/b/c

I believe I saw somewhere else but I can't find the page.

[UPDATE]

I think I'm asking about XPointer. :)

Solution

  • You should use a # instead:

    xlink:href="http://dog.com/dogbreeds.xml#xpointer(id('Rottweiler'))"

    or, a shorter version:

    xlink:href="http://dog.com/dogbreeds.xml#Rottweiler"
