1. A computer-implemented method in a client computing system for facilitating the production of a shipping label, the method comprising:

  • receiving a first uniform resource identifier comprising a scheme name and scheme data, the scheme name identifying a shipping protocol, wherein the scheme data of the first uniform resource identifier includes a network resource identifier, wherein the shipping protocol defines a syntax for item shipment instructions that define actions taken by a computing system that complies with the shipping protocol, wherein the first uniform resource identifier identifies one or more item shipment actions defined by the shipping protocol;

    performing the specified one or more item shipment actions defined by the shipping protocol;

    automatically populating user interface controls with shipment information received using the network resource identifier;

    producing, by the client computing system, the shipping label in accordance with the shipping protocol and by using the scheme data; and

    using the scheme data to automatically post to a remote computing system information about an order associated with the produced shipping label.
