==XRI Syntax==

The OASIS XRI Technical Committee explained that just like the generic URI, the XRI syntax, it has four optional components with the scheme name xri: For example: xri: authority  / path  ? query  # fragment. The HTTP URIs which uses the generic URI syntax can be changed to a valid XRI by simply changing an http URI to XRI. For example:<ref>[ http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/5109/xri-syntax-resolution-1.0-cd.pdf Generic Syntax]</ref>
