URI (Universal resource Identifier) as the name implies are identifiers that points out a resource, while URL is used for identifiers that pionts out a location.
URL therefore can be seen as a part of the URI.
URL as described above provides a location and the protocol that would be used to access the stored data.
So it would be safe to call a hyperlink as a URI no matter what it points to, what the name is, and what protocol is used to access the data.
To sum it up, URL is simply a subgroup that is contained by the URI. It was only meant to point to the location of the resource with an indication of the protocol needed.
