The Web's architecture has very simple principles revolving around the ideas of placing a heavy emphasis on a consistent and global identification mechanism for resources, a standardized way of how resource representations can be retrieved, and a standardized way of how resource representations should be usable by using standardized media types. For identification, the Web uses the concept of a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), and the main properties of URIs are that they make resources identifiable within a certain scheme, which then determines how resources are identified within that scheme, and what methods can be used for interacting with them.
