Hi,
I think allowing only absolute URIs would translate into simpler mechanisms to
build them, and better understanding by human readers trying to debug based on
ALTO outputs, but I acknowledge these are limited advantages if there are any
other reasons for allowing relative URIs.
Be goode,

Wendy,
I see no reason to restrict to absolute URIs.
Currently section 6.7.2 of the ALTO protocol spec states:
uri A URI at which the ALTO Server provides one or more Information
Resources, or an Information Resource Directory indicating
additional Information Resources.
Would a
In general URIs can be relative as well as absolute. So if an ALTO
server's resource directory has the URI
"http://alto.example.com/directory";, directory entries like
{ "uri" : "/networkmap", }
or
{ "uri" : "costmap/num/routingcost", ...}
should be legal and should resolve to "http://alto.
