!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] ([NRS] or JANET NRS) was a pseudo-[hierarchical] naming scheme used on British academic and research networks until the superficially similar system used by the [Internet] [Domain Name System] ([DNS]) was fully established.
A principal difference was that the order of significance began with the most significant part (so called [Big-Endian] addresses).
[{$pagename}] names were canonically written in [UPPERCASE]. For [example], the University of Cambridge had the NRS name UK.AC.CAM, whereas its [DNS Domain] is cam.ac.uk.
[{$pagename}] names had both a standard (long) and abbreviated (up to 18 characters) form. For example, UK.AC.CAMBRIDGE was the less widely used standard equivalent of the abbreviated name UK.AC.CAM.
