Dear David, Can you tell us more details about your issue? I understand that you use URN's in topicref href's and you want when a map is opened in the DITA Maps Manager view to see correctly the links to the hrefs (solved by catalog) and of course when double clicking a link to open in the editor the real location solved by catalog. Indeed Oxygen does not yet solve by catalog the topic references presented in the DITA Maps Manager but we can work on this. Is my understanding correct? You also speak something about Oxygen ignoring catalog entries at validation. What kind of validation are you referring to? A DITA Map is only validated against a DTD and the validation process does not check the topic ref's in the map if they point to valid topic refs. I understand that you have an xml catalog which solves the URN's to real locations. Can you send us a sample from it? Also, how have you modified the DITA-OT toolkit to allow the URN's to be resolved at transformation time?

I'm evaluating Oxygen for our DITA installation and have hit on a bit of a problem: everything works very well for the DITA files, including XML catalog resolution for specializations, etc., but links and the ditamap editor aren't getting resolved.
I use URNs in links between source files, to allow authors to have local copies of resources which live in our source control system, such as <topicref href="urn:quative.tv:docs:quative/company/en_GB/concept/AboutQuative.dita" />. The documentation[1] says that "the OASIS XML catalogs present in the list maintained in the XML Catalog Preferences panel will be scanned trying to map a remote system ID (at document validation) or a URI reference (at document transformation)"
If I read this correctly, this means you ignore catalog entries for URIs at validation time, which would explain why nothing is working. Is this the case, and if so, do you have any plans to support URI links in upcoming versions of Oxygen ?
