     In JSON-LD, with exceptions are as described below, all <a>relative IRIs</a>

+  <p class="note">As noted in <a href="#how-to-read-this-document" class="sectionRef"></a>,
+    IRIs can often be confused with URLs (<a data-cite="ld-glossary#uniform-resource-locator">Uniform Resource Locators</a>),
+    the primary distinction is that a URL <em>locates</em> a resource on the web,
+    an IRI <em>identifies</em> a resource. While it is a good practice for resource identifiers
+    to be dereferencable, sometimes this is not practical. In particular, note the
+    [[URN]] scheme for Uniform Resource Names, such as <a data-cite="rfc4122">UUID</a>.
+    An example UUID is <code>urn:uuid:f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6</code>.</p>
