An address format to refer to documents on the Internet.
("URL") standard identifier for a resource on the World Wide Web, used by Web browsers to initiate a connection. The URL includes the communication s protocol to use, the name of the server, and path information identifying the object s to be retrieved on the server. [D04891] RUP
A URL is a compact (most of the time) string representation for a resource available on the Internet. URLs are primarily used to retrieve information using WWW. The syntax and semantics for URLs are defined in RFC 1738. See also: World Wide Web. [Source: RFC1983
A sequence of characters that represent information resources on a computer or in a network such as the Internet. This sequence of characters includes (a) the abbreviated name of the protocol used to access the information resource and (b) the information used by the protocol to locate the information resource. For example, in the context of the Internet, these are abbreviated names of some protocols used to access various information resources: http, ftp, gopher, telnet, and news; and this is the URL for the IBM home page: http://www.ibm.com.
An address that uniquely identifies an HTML page or other resource. web browsers use URLs to specify which pages to display.

(URL) (n.) A standard for writing a text reference to an arbitrary piece of data in the World Wide Web (WWW). A URL looks like “protocol://host/localinfo.†The data “protocol†specifies a protocol for fetching the object (such as HTTP or FTP). The data “host†specifies the Internet name of the targeted host. The data “localinfo†is a string (often a file name) that is passed to the protocol handler on the remote host.
The alias for IP addresses which are converted by DNS servers. They save the user from having to remember the IP address for servers, instead using a URL alias which is user friendly. Internic is responsible for all URL binds.
the technical name for a text string that supplies an Internet or Intranet address and the method by which it can be accessed.
Expanded acronym of "URL".
A text string that describes the location of an HTML document. A URL may point to a file or to a server that contains the file.

A URL is a name that is unique across the Internet. It is analogous to a file name on a single machine in that it identifies some resource that might be data or a program.
The address of a document. A URL consists of the protocol used to transfer the document (usually http), the hostname of the computer where the document is located, followed by the name of the page on the computer.
A standardized device for identifying and locating certain records and other resources located on the World Wide Web.
The means for identifying a resource on the Internet. A URL begins with the name of the protocol needed to get the data from the server, followed by the text name of the resource. For example, a web page is a resource located on the Internet and it requires the use of the HTTP protocol.
Addressing scheme on the Internet to locate Internet resources.
A URL is the address of a page on the Web. The complete syntax for a Web address is "accessrnethod://server-name[:port]/'directory/file”. An example of a complete address is 'http://www.mycompany.com.80/"default.htm.
A string of characters that represents the location or address of a resource on the Internet and how that resource should be accessed. World Wide Web pages are assigned a unique URL. Each hyperlink on a web page contains the URL of the page to be linked to. http://rohan.sdsu.edu/glossary.html is the URL for this page. [San Diego State University
the unique address of a file accessible on the Internet (for example, http://www.gc.ca/main_e.html is the URL for the main Government of Canada Web site). The URL contains the name of the protocol required to access the resource, a domain name that identifies a specific computer on the Internet, and a hierarchical description of a file location on the computer.
is an electronic address that identifies a Web site.
identifies a file that can be accessed via the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), in other words, web pages.
the address or location of a document available via the Web.
A string, structured according to the syntax of Internet Engineering Task Force RFC 1738, that specifies the location of a resource on the Internet such as a file, an image or a downloadable document. A URL includes the type of naming scheme employed (http, ftp, telnet, news, file, etc.), a separating colon, the location of the host, and a path to the resource. URLs may be either absolute (containing the entire address of the resource) or relative (containing only a part of the address). Partial addresses may be used as long as the processing agent is able to resolve the full locations based on their context. Relative URLs enable terseness in documentation and the dynamic generation of links; they also minimize referential problems that may occur when hierarchical naming systems or file locations are modified.
A URL is the distinct address that identifies each resource on the Internet. More formally, a URL is the networked extension of the standard filename concept that can exist on any machine on the network and served via any of several different methods. An example of a URL is http://www.afilias.info/ UTC - an abbreviation for Coordinated Universal Time. UTC (or simply "universal time") is a globally used standard for time. UTC and GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) are essentially the same; both refer to time on the zero or Greenwich meridian. Bodies such as ICANN and WIPO often use universal time when referring to election dates and legal deadlines. To top
A unique address that identifies the location of a page, file, or other type of resource on the Internet or an intranet. It typically includes four elements: the protocol for accessing the resource, such as http://; the server type; the server name, which is often the name of the organization that maintains the resource; and a suffix, which typically identifies the type of organization that maintains the resource.

a way of addressing information on the Internet or a local intranet. The most familiar types of URLs are web addresses, beginning with "http:", where http stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol. Different prefixes are used for other standard URL protocols, for example: file (host-specific file), ftp (File Transfer Protocol), https (Secure HTTP), mailto (electronic mail), news (USENET news), outlook (Microsoft Outlook), and a variety of less common protocols. (An authoritative reference on URLs can be found in this article by T. Berners-Lee.) Montage supports URLs in the specification of target and directory paths for Shortcuts.
the defining terminology that identifies other web sites and specific web pages. A URL is a means of specifying a resource by incorporating the protocol, machine address, path and filename. (p. 6)
