A reference to an object which conforms to the Universal Resource Identifier (URI) standard, as defined by W3C RFC 2936.
See "Universal Resource Identifiers in WWW" by Tim Berners-Lee at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt.
This is a World-Wide Web RFC for global identification of resources.
See http://www.w3.org/Addressing for a starting point on URIs.
See http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2806.txt for new URI types like telephone, fax and modem numbers.
Declaration :
Directly inherited by : DV_EHR_URI
Artifact : DV_URI
Attribut value |
Value of URI as a String.
Declaration :
Operation scheme |
A distributed information "space" in which information objects exist.
The scheme simultaneously specifies an information space and a mechanism for
accessing objects in that space. For example if scheme = "ftp", it identifies
the information space in which all ftpable objects exist, and also the
application - ftp - which can be used to access them.
Values may include: "ftp", "telnet", "mailto", "gopher" and many others.
Refer to WWW URI RFC for a full list.
New information spaces can be accommodated within the URI specification.
Declaration :
Operation path |
A string whose format is a function of the scheme. Identifies the location in <scheme>-space of an information entity.
Typical values include hierarchical directory paths for any machine. For example, with scheme = "ftp", path might be
/pub/images/image_01. The strings "." and ".." are reserved for use in the path. Paths may include internet/intranet location identifiers of the form:
sub_domain...domain, e.g. "info.cern.ch"
Declaration :
Operation fragment_id |
A part of, a fragment or a sub-function within an object.
Allows references to sub-parts of objects, such as a certain line and
character position in a text object. The syntax and semantics are
defined by the application responsible for the object.
Declaration :
Operation query |
Query string to send to application implied by scheme and path.
Enables queries to applications, including databases to be included
in the URI. Supports any query meaningful to the server, including SQL.
Declaration :
All public operations : fragment_id , path , query , scheme
