XML data linking method

[Murad Jura]

Hello all!

We are developing one staff management system using Cocoon 2.1 and the native XML database (Xindice 1.0). There are many relationships between our XML data resources, such as between an employee and a department.
Has anybody advise me what method we should choose to implement this kind of linking?
First we have tried to implement the relational database model by providing notorious id attributes everywhere, but there is one big lack. When we use this model all our relationships are scattered between a lot of stylesheets.
Unfortunately, Xindice hasn't any kind of linking tools, such as primary/foreign key feature in RDBMS. I have seen the XLink specification, but I don't know how to use it.

Thanks and sorry for my English!
Regards,
Murad Jura.
