Well the R in URI doesn't stand for "resource" in general, but "resource" as defined in the RFC which says: Abstract A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is a compact string of characters for identifying an abstract or physical resource. .... Resource A resource can be anything that has identity. Familiar examples include an electronic document, an image, a service (e.g., "today's weather report for Los Angeles"), and a collection of other resources. Not all resources are network "retrievable"; e.g., human beings, corporations, and bound books in a library can also be considered resources. DavidReceived on Tuesday, 23 May 2000 13:40:41 UTC
