Uniform Resource Locator. A standard way of specifying the location of an object,
usually a Web page on the Internet. The URL for a Web page would look something
like this: "http://www.w3.org/default.htm". Here, "http:" indicates that a Web page is
being accessed, "www.w3.org" is the address of the server containing the Web page,
and "default.htm" is the file name under which the Web page is stored on the server.
