A Revised Internet Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories. This draft is a work item of the Uniform Resource Identifiers
Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Uniform Resource Locators
Author(s) : T. Berners-Lee
Filename : draft-ietf-uri-url-01.txt, .ps
Pages : 18
Many protocols and systems for document search and retrieval are currently
in use, and many more protocols or refinements of existing protocols are to
be expected in a field whose expansion is explosive.
These systems are aiming to achieve global search and readership of
documents across differing computing platforms, and despite a plethora of
protocols and data formats. As protocols evolve, gateways can allow
global access to remain possible. As data formats evolve, format conversion
programs can preserve global access. There is one area, however, in which
it is impractical to make conversions, and that is in the names and
addresses used to identify objects. This is because names and addresses of
objects are passed on in so many ways, from the backs of envelopes to
hypertext objects, and may have a long life.
This paper discusses the requirements on a universal syntax
which can be used to refer to objects available using existing protocols,
and may be extended with technology. It makes a recommendation for
a generic syntax, and for specific forms for "Uniform Resource Locators"
(URLs) of objects accessible using existing Internet protocols.
