Basically, if an @itemprop is a bare name, and not an absolute URI, it is added to the
@itemtype URI using the described mechanism. If there is no @itemtype, it uses the document base and is added to it using the appropriate algorithm for resolving relative URIs.

For example, if @itemprop="name" and @itemtype="http://schema.org/Person" the resulting URI would be http://schema.org/name.

If there is no @itemtype, better to generate something rather than nothing. So, if base were http://example.com/foo, @itemprop would resolve to http://example.com/name.

Of course @itemprop could be something other than a bare name, such as "foo/bar" and the same rules apply.

A human user and also a machine will get the relation (specific meaning) of name via its context, i.e., the types of that resource, e.g., schemaorg:Person => a person's name etc.
