Re: Relative Paths?

[Paul Grosso <pgrosso@arbortext.com>]

Relative paths are relative to the base URI which--in the
absence of other info (such as in your case)--is the resource 
in which they were found.

So in the first case, images-db/schema_picture.bmp is relative
to dbms/docs/database.xmldoc and in the second case it is
relative to your document.
