Yes it stands for Uniform Resource Locator. The idea for URL's was that the internet needed a scheme that would allow someone to specify where any one particular resource or asset could be found. It also tells client applications how to access the resource using a "scheme:" Like most internet technology these specifications and standards were documented in a series of request for comments documents (RFC's) The url rfc is listed in the links.
The basic format of the url should be familiar to you from accessing webpages:
so for example, with www
One thing to remember about url's is that they were meant to support all sorts of protocols/schemes, and information systems, so, for example, ftp servers are supported with urls like:
ftp://fred:fredpw@ftp.myhost.com/uploads

A URL is the web site's address. URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. For example the URL for the Yahoo! Answers web page is answers.yahoo.com. The URL for Google is www.google.com.
