Definition
An acronym for Universal Resource Locator. This is the way that the location of files on the World Wide Web is specified. The URL indicated what protocol should be used to retreive the file, the address and port of the server containing the file, and the location and name of the file on that server. An example of a URL is: http://merlin.bmc.tmc.edu:8001/bcd/welcome.html, that is: protocol://server_address:port/location/name.
