Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: XERCERJ-70
    Summary: What's a base system identifier?
       Type: Bug

     Status: Open

    Project: Xerces2-J

   Assignee: Xerces-J Developers Mailing List
   Reporter: James Clark

    Created: Sun, 25 Nov 2001 11:41 PM
    Updated: Mon, 12 Apr 2004 2:13 PM
Environment: Operating System: Windows NT/2K
Platform: PC

Description:
(This is actually for beta3.)

The javadoc for eg
org.apache.xerces.xni.XMLDocumentHandler.startEntity documents the
baseSystemId parameter as the "base system identifier".  Now I know
what a system identitifer and I know what a base URI is, but I have
never heard of a "base system identifier".  At the least the javadoc
should explain that the "baseSystemId" is the base URI applicable to
the system identifier, i.e. the base URI of the entity containing the
declaration of the entity being started.  I think the parameter should
be renamed, perhaps to "systemIdBaseURI".  There's a similar problem
with XMLLocator and XMLInputSource.
