Draft on uri's scheme for the web-ui

+URI scheme
+==========
+
+Browsing namespace
+------------------
+
+### Global
+
+To be anchored where browsing starts (e.g., at /browse)
+
+* /revision/<SHA1_GIT>: show commit information
+
+* /directory/<SHA1_GIT>: show directory information (including ls)
+
+* /directory/<SHA1_GIT>/path/to/file-or-dir: ditto, but for dir pointed by path
+
+  - note: this is the same as /dir/<SHA1_GIT'>, where <SHA1_GIT'> is the
+  sha1_git ID of the dir pointed by path
+
+* /content/[<HASH_ALGO>:]<HASH>: show content information
+
+  - content is specified by HASH, according to HASH_ALGO, where HASH_ALGO is
+  one of: sha1, sha1_git, sha256. This means that several different URLs (at
+  least one per HASH_ALGO) will point to the same content
+  - HASH_ALGO defaults to "sha1" (?)
+
+* /release/<SHA1_GIT>: show release information
+
+* /person/<PERSON_ID>: show person information
+
+* /origin/<ORIGIN_ID>: show origin information
+
+* /project/<PROJECT_ID>: show project information
+
+* /organization/<ORGANIZATION_ID>: show organization information
+
+### Occurrence
+
+Origin/Branch do not contain `|` so it is used as a terminator.
+Origin is <TYPE+URL>.
+Timestamp is one of: latest or an ISO8601 date (TODO: decide the time matching
+policy).
+
+* /directory/<TIMESTAMP>/<ORIGIN>|/<BRANCH>|/path/to/file-or-dir
+
+  - Same as /directory/<SHA1_GIT> but looking up sha1 git using origin and
+    branch at a given timestamp
+
+* /revision/<TIMESTAMP>/<ORIGIN>|/<BRANCH>
+
+  - Same as /revision/<SHA1_GIT> but looking up sha1 git using origin and
+    branch at a given timestamp
+
+* /revision/<TIMESTAMP>/<ORIGIN>|
+
+  - Show all branches of origin at a given timestamp
+
+* /revision/<TIMESTAMP>/<ORIGIN>|/<BRANCH>|
+
+  - Show all revisions (~git log) of origin and branch at a given timestamp
