Good URIs

What constitutes a good URI? In short they are:

  • Globally unique: One URI should never refer to two different concepts at the same time, even ones that may seem equivalent
  • Persistent: A URI should continue to resolve for the foreseeable future. The URI should survive website re-engineering exercises, for example
  • Stable: A URI should never be re-used for different things between data releases, even if the original is deleted
  • Resolvable (dereferenceable): This simply means: when a user clicks on a URI in their browser, we want them to be redirected to a suitable document
