[Uri-review] Want a suggestion

[John Xiaogang Zhang <xiaogang at gridmo.com>]

Dear all,

I need a suggestion on how to identify a group id from an internet file.

To describe the issue, lets start from email address. My understanding,
an email address is actually a user ID, and  the email address
"xiaogang at gridmo.com" identifies the user "xiaogang" which defined at
"gridmo.com".

The same can apply to mailling lists and groups (mailling lists can be
considered as a kind of groups). I may define a group named as "grp1" at
the server "gridmo.com", and refer it as "grp1 at gridmo.com" in the
internet.

Now, for some reason, I want to define some system-independent groups,
and store these information in some internat file (don't ask me why).
Assume a group id "grp2" is defined in an internet file with a URL
"myprotolcol:\\gridmo.com\mydir\mygrps.myml", and I want to refer this
group over the internet.

My questions:
1. Is there any existing standard to refer such a group (or close enough)?
2. If not, then what is the best way to refer it?

My currently intention is, refer it as

 "grp2 at gridmo.com\mydir\mygrps.myml"

so that the format will consist with (at least close enough to) existing
user/group (or email address / mailing list) format.

Another possible but ugly alternative is,

 "grp2 at myprotolcol:\\gridmo.com\mydir\mygrps.myml"

Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

Best regards

Xiaogang
