XML — URI — Uniform Resource Locator

Information on Uniform Resource Locator

A Uniform Resource Locator specifies the physical location of a resource in the Internet.
     The Uniform Resource Locator specifies the protocol to be used in accessing the resource, the server from which the resource is obtained and the location on the server at which the resource is to be found. For many protocols, the Uniform Resource Locator specifies the location of a file on the server that holds the resource.
     The Uniform Resource Locator is a sub-class of the more general URI (Uniform Resource Identifier). The other sub-class of the URI is the URN (Uniform Resource Name).
