 +====== Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) ======
  
 +[[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:start|Go to Terms and Definitions]]
 +
 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) provides a uniform mechanism for identifying a resource.
 +
 +A resource identified by a URI may be physical, digital, conceptual, or abstract. The identified resource does not need to be accessible through a network.
 +
 +Examples of things that may be identified by a URI include:
 +
 +  * documents
 +  * images
 +  * services
 +  * namespaces
 +  * schemas
 +  * concepts
 +  * vocabulary terms
 +  * organizations
 +  * people
 +  * other identifiable resources
 +
 +A URI uses a URI scheme to establish the rules governing its syntax and interpretation.
 +
 +Examples of URI schemes include:
 +
 +  * ''http''
 +  * ''https''
 +  * ''mailto''
 +  * ''urn''
 +  * ''tel''
 +  * ''ftp''
 +
 +A URI may function as a name, a locator, or both.
 +
 +A URI does not imply that the identified resource can be retrieved or accessed over a network.
 +
 +===== Definition =====
 +
 +//an identifier consisting of a sequence of characters used to identify a physical, digital, conceptual, or abstract resource//
 +
 +===== Source =====
 +
 +  * RFC 3986, //Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax//
 +
 +===== Note =====
 +
 +A Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is a subset of URI that identifies a resource and also provides a means for locating or accessing that resource.
 +
 +The general term URI should be used when the distinction between identification and location is not significant.
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +The following are examples of URIs:
 +
 +><code>
 +https://example.org/resource/123
 +urn:example:object:123
 +mailto:user@example.org
 +tel:+1-555-555-1212
 +</code>
 +
 +The first example may function as both an identifier and locator, while the ''urn'', ''mailto'', and ''tel'' examples illustrate other URI schemes.
