Therefore, URLs are a subset of URIs, ie. every URL is a URI (and not necessarily the other way around). [2] Other URIs provide only a unique name, without a means of locating or retrieving the resource or information about it; these are Uniform Resource Names (URNs). The web technologies that use URIs are not limited to web browsers.
