[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

    [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-487?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=34634#action_34634 ] 

Ralf Handl commented on ODATA-487:
----------------------------------

Make explicit that context URL itself can be relative to content-location or request URL.

Best rephrase the "recursive" or "inside-out" rules to "outside-in":
- request URL is outermost context
- can be overridden by content-location
- which can be overridden by odata.context
- which can be overridden by nested odata.context

> In several places the JSON specification states that URLs may be "relative to the context URL". This is more restrictive than the rules defined in section 4.3.
> In most some cases this seems to be a left-over from before inserting section 4.3.
