While there aren't many system/paradigm choices, here, there's more than one.

So it will probably help to have a brief summary of what the functional
requirements and constraints are, and then a mapping to the candidates.

(Saying URI, for example, doesn't really answer many technical questions,
although it typically means the top of the scoping hierarchy is defined by a
domain name.)
