Overview

A uniform resource identifier (URI) is a unique sequence of characters for identifying some physical or abstract resource. URIs are further generalized to internationalized resource identifiers (IRIs) which allow using characters from any language, provided there exists a standard web encoding of the characters.

The URI generic syntax consists of five components organized hierarchically in order of decreasing significance from left to right:

<scheme>:[//<authority>]<path>[?<query>][#<fragment>]

where the <authority> is further composed as

[<userinfo>@]<host>[:<port>]
