The Uniform resource locator (URL) is a global address of a resource or document in the World Wide Web. The first part of the address is called a protocol identifier and it indicates what protocol to use, and the second part is called a resource name and it specifies the IP address or the domain name where the resource is located. The protocol identifier and the resource name are separated by a colon and two forward slashes.

     The website of SWOM has a lot of pages including your SWOM profile page. To help pinpoint the exact SWOM member account, the SWOM URL is used to identify your profile page from the rest of the SWOM pages. We can compare it to a neighborhood. Your SWOM account page is like house in this neighborhood. In order to locate your house in the neighborhood, you need an address so that you can find what you are looking for. This concept works the same with the Uniform Resource.
