VDict - Definition of Uniform Resource Name

Computing (FOLDOC) dictionary

Uniform Resource Name

World-Wide Web (URN) 1. Any URI which is not a URL.

2. A particular scheme which is currently (1991-4) under

development by the IETF, which should provide for the

resolution using Internet protocols of names which have a

greater persistence than that currently associated with

Internet host names or organisations (as used in URLs).

Uniform Resource Names will be URI schemes that improve on

URLs in reliability over time, including authenticity,

replication, and high availability.

When defined, a URN in sense 1 will be an example of a URN in

sense 2.
