An absolute reference, usually called a benchmark, is a fixed location on the ground. Frequently, it is confirmed by GPS and other more accurate instruments. A relative location is derived from a benchmark. Many survey document contain only one reference to a benchmark; all other locations are relative to the location of the controlling benchmark.
