XRI stands for Extensible Resource Identifier, an open standard protocol for digital identity addressing developed by the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards), a not-for-profit consortium engaged in developing interoperability protocols for security, Cloud Computing, SOA, Web services, the Smart Grid, electronic publishing, emergency management, etc.[1] The characteristics of the XRI is the same as the Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs)], which provides a simple and extensible way for identifying a resource.However, an XRI is capable of including characters beyond what is used by the generic URI and incorporates the simplification and enhancements of the URI syntax.

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:[3] http://www.icannwiki.com/pages/index.html--- standard HTTP URI xri://www.icannwiki.com/pages/index.html--- converted to XRI
