# Referencing URIs

[URI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Identifier) stands for Uniform Resource Identifier

Within the Interu data model, various records reference other records. The way we do this is to use the URI of the record but **without the hostname prefix**. This is illustrated in the following example:

```Record URI
https://<hostname>/organisations/c0a77915-4109-46b2-b5d5-ff98ece128f0/location/123
```

```json Referenced
{
  ...
  "to": "/organisations/c0a77915-4109-46b2-b5d5-ff98ece128f0/location/123"
  ...
}
```
