A character string used to identify a resource (such as a file) from anywhere on the Internet by type and location. The term 'URL' (Uniform Resource Locator) is a specific type of URI. A Jabber ID can be represented as a URI by prepending the "xmpp:" scheme.
A short string that uniquely identifies a resource such as an HTML document, an image, a down-loadable file, a service, or an electronic mailbox.
The method used to identify the locations of content on the Internet. The URL (uniform resource locator) is a particular form of a URI that identifies a Web page address. A URI typically describes (a) the mechanism used to access the resource (for example, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP), (b) the specific computer where the resource is stored (for example, www.webserver.org), and the specific name of the resource on the computer (for example .../products/images/serv.jpg).
A character string used to identify a resource (such as a file) from anywhere on the Internet by type and location. The term "URL" (Uniform Resource Locator) is a specific type of URI. For more information, see http://www.w3.org/Addressing/.
The syntax for all names/addresses that refer to resources on the World Wide Web. For information about Internet addressing, see http://www.w3.org/Addressing/Addressing.html.
Expanded acronym of "URI".
The Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is the general term for a string that uniquely identifies a resource (in a computer). You could consider a URI as a name, but unlike human names, it only occurs exactly once. URIs are mostly used for naming web pages, web services or email recipients.
a set of related standards for encoding resource location and identification information for electronic and other objects. Examples include Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) and Uniform Resource Names (URNs).
A string of characters that represents the location or address of a resource on the Internet and how that resource should be accessed. A URI is a superset of the Uniform Resource Locator. [San Diego State University
A string, structured according to the syntax of Internet Engineering Task Force RFC 2396, that identifies a resource on the Internet such as a file, a downloadable document, or an image. There are two classes of URIs: those that identify by specifying location (Uniform Resource Locators) and those that do so by naming the resource (Uniform Resource Names), such as purls (persistent URLs). See also Uniform Resource Locator.
A character string that identifies a resource on the Internet by type and location.
The address syntax that is used to create URLs and XPaths.
The character string used to identify an abstract or physical resource on the Internet. A URI typically describes how to access the resource, the computer that contains the resource, and the name of the resource. The most common form of URI is the Web page address, which is a particular subset or URI called uniform resource locator (URL). See also uniform resource locator.
A generic term for all types of names and addresses that refer to objects on the World Wide Web. A URL is a type of URI.
Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is the generic set of all names and addresses which are short strings that refer to objects (typically on the internet). The most common kind of URI is a Uniform Resource Locater (URL).
A compact string of characters for identifying an abstract or physical resource. The most common form of URI is the web page address, which is a particular form or subset of URI called a URL.
A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is a string that identifies a particular location in a file system or on the Web. For example, the address of a web page is a URI.
The address syntax that is used to create a URL.
A unique reference to a (usually Internet-based) resource. A URI can indicate location (e.g. a URL) or merely identify a resource by name or number (e.g. an ISBN number for a book).
A superclass that includes both URN s and URL s. Presently, URI means URL in nearly all cases when discussing XML, although it is expected that URNs will become more numerous in the future. The URI supplies a universally unique number or name that can identify an element or attribute in a universally unique way. URIs are a slightly more general scheme for locating resources on the Internet that focuses a more on the resource and less on the location. In theory, a URI could find the closest copy of a mirrored document or locate a document moved from one site to another.
A number or name that uniquely identifies an element or attribute. URIs include both Uniform Resource Names (URNs) and Uniform Resource Locators (URLs). URIs are a general scheme for locating resources on the Internet that focuses more on the resource and less on the location. In theory, a URI could find the closest copy of a mirrored document or locate a document moved from one site to another. Although it is expected that URNs will become more common in the future, when discussing XML today, URIs are URLs in nearly all cases.
(URI) A compact string of characters for identifying an abstract or physical resource. It is formally defined by RFC 2396. URIs used on the world-wide web are commonly referred to as → URLs.
A compact string representation of a location (URL) for use in identifying an abstract or physical resource. URI is one of many addressing schemes, or protocols, invented for the Internet for the purpose of accessing objects using an encoded address string.
Identificateur de ressources uniformes The inclusive term for the set of technologies -- currently including URLs, URCs and URNs but extendable -- that have been developed under the auspices of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) for naming, addressing, and to some extent describing Web resources. Source: National Library of Canada – A Glossary of Digital Library Standards, Protocols and Formats
A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), is a compact string of characters used to identify or name a resource. The main purpose of this identification is to enable interaction with representations of the resource over a network, typically the World Wide Web, using specific protocols. URIs are defined in schemes defining a specific syntax and associated protocols.
