Every URI identifies some resource. The URLs, in addition to identifying resources, also describe where they are located. So every URL is a URI, but (in theory) not all URIs are URLs. In practice, though, all the foo://bar things are URLs. There are also URNs, which just *name* the resources. For example, you could have an `isbn' scheme (I don't know if it actually exists), and the URI could be an example of a URN. An interesting question is whether URLs union URNs = URIs? -- Daniel Brockman
