In computing, a CURIE (or Compact URI) defines a generic, abbreviated syntax for expressing Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs). It is an abbreviated URI expressed in a compact syntax, and may be found in both XML and non-XML grammars. A CURIE may be considered a datatype.
An example of CURIE syntax: [isbn:0393315703]
The square brackets may be used to prevent ambiguities between CURIEs and regular URIs, yielding so-called safe CURIEs.
QNames (the namespace prefixes used in XML) often are used as a CURIE, and may be considered a type of CURIE. CURIEs, as defined by the W3C, will be better defined and may include checking. Unlike QNames, the part of a CURIE after the colon does not need to conform to the rules for XML element names.
The first W3C Working Draft of CURIE syntax was released 7 March 2007.[1]
The final recommendation was released 16 December 2010. [2]
Example[edit]
This example is based on one from the W3C Working Draft 7 March 2007, using a QName syntax within XHTML.
<html xmlns:wikipedia="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/"> <head>...</head> <body> <p> Find out more about <a href="[wikipedia:Biome]">biomes</a>. </p> </body> </html>
- The definition ("<html xmlns:wikipedia="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/">") is highlighted in yellow
- The CURIE ("[wikipedia:Biome]") is highlighted in green

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
