Uniform Resource Names

URNs are used to provide a unique name for a Resource, but they do not specify how to access it
URNs are often used for persistent identification, such as ISBNs for books or DOIs for academic papers.

Examples of URNs:

urn:isbn:0451450523 (URN for a book’s ISBN) urn:https://doi.org/10.1000/123456789 (URN for a DOI)
