👉 URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) engineering refers to the systematic design, implementation, and maintenance of URIs to ensure they are unique, stable, and semantically meaningful within a specific context or domain. It involves creating a hierarchical structure that allows resources to be uniquely identified and accessed across different systems and platforms. URI engineering encompasses practices such as resource naming conventions, URI versioning, path organization, and the use of prefixes or suffixes to denote different types of resources (e.g., URLs, paths, fragments). Effective URI engineering is crucial for interoperability, scalability, and ease of use in web services, APIs, and information systems.
