Hi, If my understanding of the problem is correct then could the OASIS Catalog files eventually be able to lookup local copies of external XML documents referenced by URLs using the "xlink" element attribute? If so this will be fantastic. If not can I ask for a feature that will allow this? Thanks. John

Hello,
Yes, URI catalog entries are ignored at validation time. We plan to remove this limitation of the XML catalog resolver in one of the next versions of Oxygen / Author, released probably in a few months. Version 9.3 which will be released in one or two weeks will not fix this problem.
Regards, Sorin
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

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 ?
