<uri>

Uniform Resource Indicator (URI)

Definition

Identifies a Uniform Resource Indicator (such as a URL) that may be used as a live link, typically naming a website, such as <url>http://www.mulberrytech.com</url>

Remarks

This element identifies a URI, but can be used in two ways. For example, a URL may be the content of the element (as was just shown) or, alternatively, the content may name the URL, for example:

<uri>Mulberry’s Website</uri>

and the xlink:href attribute may hold the real URL as is shown here:

<uri xlink:href="https://www.mulberrytech.com">Mulberry’s Website</uri>

Attributes

content-type Type of Content
xlink:actuate Actuating the Link
xlink:href Href (Linking Mechanism)
xlink:role Role of the Link
xlink:show Showing the Link
xlink:title Title of the Link
xlink:type Type of Link
xmlns:xlink XLink Namespace Declaration

Related Elements

The <self-uri> element is used when an article is available in multiple forms, for example, as a means of indicating the online version of a print article. Conversely, a URI that indicates a different article or any other kind of external reference is usually tagged with the <ext-link> element. The element <uri>, although allowed everywhere <ext-link> is used, is more typically part of an address, information concerning a contributor, or part of a reference citation. Loosely put, an external link <ext-link> is intended to act as a link; a URI <uri> makes no promises but identifies a URI, such as a URL, when it is present in the text of an address or a citation; and self-uri points to another form of the same article.

The elements used in an address include the address class elements: <addr-line>, <country>, <fax>, <institution>, and <phone> and the address linking class elements: <email>, <ext-link>, and <uri>.
