Actually from my research it is actually vise-versa, URI is a subset of URL
i.e http://www.somewhere.com/index.html would be the URL and the URI is the
index.html part.

Subject: Re: URI versus URL
If you could go to http://whatis.com u can find the definition of URI
URI is Universal Resource Identifier.
A URI (Uniform Resource Identifier; pronounced YEW-AHR-EYE) is the way you
identify any of those points of content, whether it be a page of text, a
video or sound clip, a still or animated image, or a program.The most common
form of URI is the Web page address, which is a particular form or subset of
URI called a Uniform Resource Locator (URL).
