<uri> Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)

Identifies a Uniform Resource Identifier (such as a URL) that may be used as a live link, typically naming a website, such as: “<uri>https://www.mulberrytech.com</uri>”).

Usage/Remarks

While the <uri> element has the form of a URI such as a URL, it is not automatically a link, nor even expected to be a live link. To make this element into a live link, use the XLink @xlink:href attribute.
