#### Establishing the Base URI
-Relative URI references are resolved using the appropriate base URI, which MUST be determined in accordance with [RFC3986 Section 5.1.1 - 5.1.4](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-5.1.1).
+Relative references are resolved using the appropriate base URI, which MUST be determined in accordance with [RFC3986 Section 5.1.1 - 5.1.4](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-5.1.1).
The base URI for resolving relative references within an Overlay document is determined as follows:
- If the [`$self`](#overlay-self) field is present and is an absolute URI, the base URI is the `$self` URI (per [RFC3986 Section 5.1.1](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-5.1.1): Base URI Embedded in Content).
-- If the [`$self`](#overlay-self) field is present and is a relative URI-reference, it MUST first be resolved against the next possible base URI source per [RFC3986 Section 5.1.2 - 5.1.4](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-5.1.2) before being used as the base URI for resolving other relative references.
+- If the [`$self`](#overlay-self) field is present and is a relative reference, it MUST first be resolved against the next possible base URI source per [RFC3986 Section 5.1.2 - 5.1.4](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-5.1.2) before being used as the base URI for resolving other relative references.
- If the [`$self`](#overlay-self) field is not present, the base URI MUST be determined from the next possible base URI source per [RFC3986 Section 5.1.2 - 5.1.4](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-5.1.2).
The most common base URI source in this case is the retrieval URI of the Overlay document (per [RFC3986 Section 5.1.3](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-5.1.3)), though other sources such as encapsulating entities ([RFC3986 Section 5.1.2](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-5.1.2)) or application-specific defaults ([RFC3986 Section 5.1.4](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-5.1.4)) MAY apply.
