Uniform Resource Identifier

In computing, a Uniform Resource Identifier is something used to name something on the Internet. URIs are similar to URLs, because they are the name of something.

Examples of URIs include:

• https://example.org/absolute/URI/with/absolute/path/to/resource.txt
• ftp://example.org/resource.txt
