A URN is similar to a person's name, while a URL is like a street address. The URN defines something's identity, while the URL provides a location. Essentially URN vs. URL is "what" vs. "where". A URN has to be of this form <URN> ::= "urn:" <NID> ":" <NSS> where <NID> is the Namespace Identifier, and <NSS> is the Namespace Specific String.

Mar 1, 2017 · URLs and URN s are special forms of URIs. A URI that identifies the mechanism by which a resource may be accessed is usually referred to as a URL. HTTP URIs are examples of URLs. If the URI has urn as its scheme and adheres to the requirements of RFC 2141 and RFC 2611, it is a URN. The goal of URN s is to provide globally unique names for ...

Oct 7, 2008 · urn:uuid:6e8bc430-9c3a-11d9-9669-0800200c9a66 a globally unique identifier; urn:publishing:book - An XML namespace that identifies the document as a type of book. URNs can identify ideas and concepts. They are not restricted to identifying documents. When a URN does represent a document, it can be translated into a URL by a "resolver".

May 7, 2009 · For the 'URN:' URI scheme, one of the rules found in 'uri.arpa.' would be for the 'urn' URI scheme. This rule would simply delegate to the 'urn.arpa.' zone for additional NAPTRs based on the URN namespace. Essentially, the URI Resolution Rewrite Rule for 'URN:' is the URN Resolution Application's First Well Known Rule.

Mar 13, 2020 · There is a hacky way I have found. It turns out, you can find it on the page source. Here is an example of how I got it:

Jul 25, 2013 · Some namespaces are defined in other IANA registries, for example urn:ietf:params:xml: with the corresponding files for the resources. Other namespaces point to already-established identifier spaces, like urn:isbn: (some metadata can be retrieved, but I don't think there is anything that will allow you to download the book from its ISBN), urn:oid:.

Feb 27, 2018 · In the case of IETF protocols, the URN of the most current RFC that specifies the protocol is used. URI references created specifically for SAML have one of the following stems, according to the specification set version in which they were first introduced: urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.0: urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1: urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:

Oct 2, 2010 · 1 The infohash is typically hex-encoded, but some old clients used base 32 instead. v1 (urn:btih:) uses the SHA-1 digest directly, while v2 (urn:btmh:) adds a multihash prefix to identify the hash algorithm and digest length. 2 There are two primary DHT networks: the simpler "mainline" DHT, and a more complicated protocol used by Azureus/Vuze ...

Nov 14, 2015 · According to Wikipedia (and RFC 3406) URN namespaces must remain globally unique and are therefore required to be registered with IANA. There is an exception for namespaces intended only for use within internal or limited experimental contexts.

Jul 11, 2018 · The Uri class does not support a specific parser for the urn: scheme out of the box. Maybe understandably so, because even if the comparison rules for the NID specify that it is case-insensitive, the rules for comparing two NSS would depend on rules as defined by the particular namespace, per RFC 8141.
