Universal Resource Locator is the unique description of an address for document, web pages, etc. on the internet.
Generally it is made up of three parts:
1. The protocol that needs to be used to access the information (e.g. http, ftp, etc.)
2. The domain on which the information is stored (e.g. www.webmastervocab.com).
3. The directory on the domain where the domain is stored (/dictionary/url.html)

An example of a complete url is: http://www.webmastervocab.com/dictionary/url.html
