This element represents a cross-reference to another resource. The content of this element should be the unique Id of the information that is being cross-referenced.

Examples:

A cross-reference to a GenBank entry: 

<xref resource="GenBank">AF016535</xref>
A cross-reference to a PharmGKB object: 
<xref resource="PharmGKB">PA267</xref>
A cross-reference to a Coriell subject: 
<xref resource="Coriell Subject">GM12112</xref>
A cross-reference to an element identified by a localId within a PharmGKB XML document: 
<xref resource="local">unique id x</xref>
This would link to the object defined by another element identified by "unique id x" in the same document; for example: 
<publication localId="unique id x">
  ...
</publication>
