Uniform resource name

Uniform Resource Name (URN) is like a special address that can be used to find information on the internet. It's like when you type an address into your web browser and it takes you directly to a website - the URN is like that. It can be used to find anything on the internet - like websites, files, or images - and it will take you directly to the thing you're looking for.
