would recommend 'URI' as per RFC 3986 as absolute URI can't have a fragment.
The 3 obvious choices are:
    URI           = scheme ":" hier-part [ "?" query ] [ "#" fragment ]
    URI-reference = URI / relative-ref
    absolute-URI  = scheme ":" hier-part [ "?" query ]
or the same from the IRI rfc.
