Although URI syntax looks like the syntax used info to navigate a hierarchical file system, this resemblance is misleading. A URI is an opaque identifier, a logically proper name that should denote exactly one resource.
Can someone please help to understand above statement,
URI should denote exactly one resource but hierarchical file system denotes one resource (a particular directory or a file)?
If a resource denoted by URI (suppose a html page) has (contains) multiple URI (links), that feels similar to a directory having multiple file / directories
appreciate your help. thanks...
