Use relative URIs for links within a package of related documents that will be moved around together as a unit. Use absolute URIs when referring to something that is developed separately. > > Using a HTTP URL requires that we host these schemas on a web > server No necessarily. There are many technologies that allow you to intercept the attempt to dereference the http: URI and substitute a resource at a different location: for example the URIResolver if you are in the Java space.
