In computing, a uniform resource identifier (URI) is a string of characters used to identify a name of a resource.
Contents
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.
