title: Linking information on the World Wide Web.
abstract: The uniform resource locator (URL) is the key element of the World Wide Web, connecting widely separate sources of information. Logically constructed URLs are important in helping users find desired information. URLs can deceive users. Cyber squatting and other practices that manipulate URLs often lead the user to unwanted information. Critical to future scholarship and education is access to full text articles online. This will require consistent and well-constructed URLs.
