Need terminology for a set of linked or embedded schema resources
PR #914 had some confusing language around schema resources being linked vs embedded, and how to think about related sets of schema resources and/or documents.
We should probably have a name for this.
@Relequestual said:
I would call this a "transcluded de-referenced bundle".
- Transclusion is what is done to the schemas
- De-referenced is the result of the process
- Bundle is the end product descriptor
Where "this" is a single-document bundle, I guess with as many de-references as possible?
However, the original context was the set of documents/resources that need to be loaded to validate any instance without having to further load more schema resources. Whether they are linked, embedded, bundled, separated, etc.
This is clearly a more complex naming issue. I'm not 100% sold that we really need this for this draft, but if we do, we need to talk out all of the cases so we should do that in an issue.
I'm not putting this issue in any milestone yet, let's see how it goes.
