URL's, URI's and URN's

I just came upon an interesting post, URL Dogma, Ian Griffiths wrote at the start of his blog. It is about the design and implementation of stable, user-friendly web page addresses. He references a couple of good articles that state goals and describes problems achieving them with ASP on IIS. One reference is URL as UI by the esteemed Jacob Nielsen in 1999, where he interestingly predicted the demise of domain names within a few years!

The essay 'Cool URIs don't change' at W3.ORG Style is an iteresting dialog.

An article at Wikipedia, URI(Uniform Resource Identifier), explains the definition of URI and its relation to URL. URI's provide unique naming functionality as well as locator functionality.
