Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) Activity Statement

One goal of the Web, since its inception, has been to build a global community in which any party can share information with any other party. To achieve this goal, the Web makes use of a single global identification system: the URI. URIs are a cornerstone of Web architecture, providing identification that is common across the Web. —Architecture of the World Wide Web, Volume One, section 2

The W3C URI Interest Group, in collaboration with the W3C Technical Architecture Group supports the IETF URI and IRI specifications.
