URI stands for Uniform Resource Identifier, and it’s the official name for those things you see all the time on the Web that begin ‘http:‘ or ‘mailto:
Wikipedia says:
A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is a string of characters that unambiguously identifies a particular resource. To guarantee uniformity, all URIs follow a predefined set of syntax rules,[1] but also maintain extensibility through a separately defined hierarchical naming scheme (e.g. http://).
Such identification enables interaction with representations of the resource over a network, typically the World Wide Web, using specific protocols.
But besides that a good fit for this domain name could be for the University of Rhode Island and their IT department. It could be used as a vanity URL to direct people to their site. It could also be a good fit for a new IT company or startup company as well as a technology blog. It’s a catchy and short URL. hard to come by these days.
