Abstract:
Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs) are Unicode strings
used to identify resources on the Internet. Applications that use
IRIs often define a means of comparing IRIs to determine when two
IRIs are equivalent for the purpose of that application. Some
applications also define a method for canonicalizing an IRI --
translating one IRI into another which is equivalent under the
comparison method used.
This document gives guidelines and best practices for defining and
using IRI comparison and canonicalization methods.
Comparison methods are used to determine equivalence. As URIs are a
subset of IRIs, the guidelines apply to URI comparison as well.
