Uniform Resource Locator:
- URL is an acronym for Uniform Resource Locator and is a reference (an address) to a resource on the Internet.
- A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is a unique sequence of characters that identifies a logical or physical resource used by web technologies.
- URIs may be used to identify anything, including real-world objects, such as people and places, concepts, or information resources such as web pages and books.
- Some URIs provide a means of locating and retrieving information resources on a network (either on the Internet or on another private network, such as a computer filesystem or an Intranet); these are Uniform Resource Locators (URLs).
- A URL provides the location of the resource. A URI identifies the resource by name at the specified location or URL.
- Other URIs provide only a unique name, without a means of locating or retrieving the resource or information about it, these are Uniform Resource Names (URNs).
- The web technologies that use URIs are not limited to web browsers.
Directory:
- In computing, a directory is a file system cataloging structure that contains references to other computer files, and possibly other directories.
- On many computers, directories are known as folders, or drawers, analogous to a workbench or the traditional office filing cabinet.
Protocol:
- A protocol is a standard set of rules that allow electronic devices to communicate with each other.
- These rules include what type of data may be transmitted, what commands are used to send and receive data, and how data transfers are confirmed.
Domain:
- A domain name is an identification string that defines a realm of administrative autonomy, authority, or control within the Internet.
- Domain names are used in various networking contexts and for application-specific naming and addressing purposes.
