<a>Schema resolution</a> is the process of dereferencing a credential schema's identifier in order to fetch a
<a>credential schema</a>.

The use of content distribution networks by <a>issuers</a> can increase the
privacy of <a>holders</a> by reducing or eliminating requests for the
schemas lists from the <a>issuer</a>. Often, a request for a schema
list will be served by an edge device and thus be faster and reduce the load

Furthermore, the use of <a href="https://ietf-wg-ohai.github.io/oblivious-http/draft-ietf-ohai-ohttp.html">Oblivious HTTP</a>
can prevent linkage of schema requests made by <a>holders</a>. Implementers are encouraged to allow configuration
of an <a href="https://ietf-wg-ohai.github.io/oblivious-http/draft-ietf-ohai-ohttp.html#dfn-relay">Oblivious Relay Resource</a>
for use during <a>schema resolution</a>.
