I have read the term "composite URI", but I'm not familiar with what it means. Is there such a thing?
I have a CompositeUri class in an application I'm building and I would like to know if I should choose a different name.

A:
Composite generally means something made up on a few things. For example, composite keys in databases are made up from multiple fields, which together guarentee uniqueness. A composite URL could be anything that fits that description, but would maybe be like the SO urls which include what your viewing (question), it's ID and some friendlier string.

Yes, that's the sense I'm using it in for my project. I was just wondering if there was another technical meaning I had not considered.

A:
In ShrinkWrap, a composite URI is one that refers to an aggregate of multiple CSS or javascript files e.g.
http://example.com/css/hello.css+world.css
That composite URI denotes the contents of http://example.com/css/world.css appended to the contents of http://example.com/css/hello.css.
