URN ==>
Uniform Resource Name
<World-Wide Web> (URN, previously Uniform/Universal Resource Number) 1.
Any URI which is not a URL.
2. A particular scheme which is currently (1991-4) under development by the
IETF, which should provide for the resolution using Internet protocols of names
which have a greater persistence than that currently associated with Internet
host names or organisations (as used in URLs). Uniform Resource Names will be
URI schemes that improve on URLs in reliability over time, including
authenticity, replication, and high availability.
When defined, a URN in sense 1 will be an example of a URN in sense 2.
