Uniform Resource Locator
Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is a technical, Web-related term used in two distinct meanings:
Every URI (and therefore every URL) begins with the scheme name that defines its namespace, purpose, and the syntax of the remaining part of the URI. Most Web-enabled programs will try to dereference a URI according to the semantics of its scheme and a context-vbn For example, a Web browser will usually dereference a http://example.org/ by performing an HTTP request to the host example.org, at the default HTTP port (see Port 80). Dereferencing URI mailto:bob@example.com will usually open a "Compose e-mail" window with the address bob@example.com in the "To" field.
"example.com" is a domain name; an IP address or other network address might be used instead.
In its current strict technical meaning, a URL is a URI that, “in addition to identifying a resource, [provides] a means of locating the resource by describing its primary access mechanism (e.g., its network ‘location’).”[1]
