International Resource Identifiers (IRIs)

IETF Request for Comment on International Resource Identifiers (IRIs), the international replacement for Universal Resource Identifiers (URIs).

International Resource Identifiers may replace URIs in a lot of Semantic Web activities. URLs are limited since the construct can use only ASCII characters, while IRIs can contain characters from the Universal Character Set ISO/IEC 10646.
