Perhaps you are looking for URIs instead of URLs.  You want something 
that identifies "what" instead of identifying "where".

(isbn:0812976568 is a URI referring to a particular book. 
http://www.amazon.com/Gospel-Flying-Spaghetti-Monster/dp/0812976568 is a 
URL referring to a particular place where you might acquire the book.)
