URI & URL

max1836
I know the two are "technically" different, but is there any reason to have both used in Zotero?

For example if you add a journal article, the you can add a "URL" link, which would most appropriately be used to link to a source of the article.

However if I have a Zotero item for a journal article, then I can right click on the item and "Add Attachment / Attach Link to URI".

I know its a twit. But is there any real need for the two different labels? Couldn't it be "Add Attachment / Attach Link to URL" ?

    I think technically you would always be attaching a URL and not any other subset of what URI encompasses, so yes, I think what you suggest is right.

    I also think that "Link to URL" or "Link to URI" is a somewhat redundant statement. IMO "Attach a URL..." would be sufficient.

    We'll see what Dan has to say about this.
