1) Read a short article about url and discuss it in pairs or in small groups
What can a URL tell us?
URL stands for “Uniform Resource Locator” and is the address of the page you are accessing. You usually see one at the top of your browser when you have a web page open. They look something like this: http://www.bbc.co.uk |
URLs may look tricky to unravel, but the best way to work out “who” and “where” is to break down the URL into its component parts. Let’s look at the following web address in detail: http://www.law.bris.ac.uk/research/interests.html
URL |
What's this? |
Tell me more… |
http:// |
Transfer Protocol |
The first part of the URL is called the protocol. It tells your browser how to deal with the file that it is about to open. The most common you will see is HTTP, or Hypertext Transfer Protocol. |
www.law.bris |
Server Name |
This refers to the computer (or server) where the web pages or files you want to view are hosted. It usually contains the name of the organization responsible for the site; in this case, the Law department at the University of Bristol. |
ac |
Top Level Domain /Organisational Code |
This tells you something about the type of organization responsible for the site (see below for more information). |
Uk |
Country Code |
This tells you in which country the site is hosted (find out more below). |
Research |
Directory |
This is a specific folder of information on the server (although it’s not always given). There can be any number of these in a URL, indicated by “/” characters. |
Interests.html |
File Name / File Type |
This is the file you are, or will be viewing. In this case, .html is the file extension. This can change depending on the type of file: e.g. .mov is a video file; .doc is a document; .gif is an image. |
You can often find out more about the nature of the organization that owns the server from the organization code. For example:
.ac, .edu academic or educational servers
.co, .com commercial servers
.gov government servers
.org non-governmental, non-profit making organizations
You can sometimes find out more information about the country in which the server is based from the country code. For example:
.au Australia
.ca Canada
.de Germany
.fr France
.uk United kingdom
2) Analyze the website addresses given below from the point of view of their structural components (See exercise 1 for reference)
