Whatever you want it to be, per your requirements. For example:
- "BusinessURL" - to reference the URL of a business, perhaps in the
context of a business that supplied some service (i.e. could be part of
a content model whose high-level element is <ServiceInformation>)
No more needed - I'm sure you get the picture.
