Preferred term

PURL  

Definition

  • URL [that], instead of pointing directly to the location of an Internet resource, [...] points to an intermediate resolution service. The PURL resolution service associates the PURL with the actual URL and returns that URL to the client as a standard HTTP redirect. [...] PURLs are an approach to fixing the problem of unstable URLs.
