Description
Such identification enables interaction with representations of the resource over a network, typically the World Wide Web, using specific protocols.
Schemes specifying a concrete syntax and associated protocols define each URI.
URL
The most common form of URI is the Uniform Resource Locator (URL), frequently referred to informally as a web address.
URN
More rarely seen in usage is the Uniform Resource Name (URN), which was designed to complement URLs by providing a mechanism for the identification of resources in particular namespaces.
