Working with XML Catalogs

When Internet access is not available or the Internet connection is slow 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) pointing to a resource on a remote Web server to a local copy of the same resource. If a match is found then <oXygen/> will use the local copy of the resource instead of the remote one. This enables the XML author to work on his XML project without Internet access or when the connection is slow and waiting until the remote resource is accessed and fetched becomes unacceptable.
