==Naming schemes in computing==
Large networks often use a systematic naming scheme, such as using a ___location (e.g. a department) plus a purpose to generate a name for a computer. For example, a web server for a marketing department may be called "marwww01".
However, smaller networks will frequently use a more personalized naming scheme to keep track of the many hosts. Popular naming schemes include trees, planets, rocks, etc.
Network naming can be hierarchical in nature, such as the [[Internet]]'s [[Domain Name System]]. Indeed, the Internet employs several universally applicable naming methods: Uniform Resource Names ([[Uniform Resource Name |URN]]), Uniform Resource Locators ([[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]]), and Uniform Resource Identifiers ([[Uniform Resource Identifier |URI]]). For the technically inclined, the following article is worth perusing: http://www.w3.org/TR/uri-clarification/.▼
The choice of names may be limited by a length limitation (such as 15 character flat name space for [[NetBIOS]]), or may be limited by a character set limitation.
