URI for class names and native data types

I was wondering if there is a recognized URI for Java, Perl/CPAN, 
Python, your-favorite-programming-language based  package, class 
and type  names? A few of us were thinking something like...

  type:language/language-specific-package-identifier

For example...

  type:java/java.lang.Integer
  type:python/win32com.client
  type:perl/Net::ftp
  
With a URI mechanism such as this, one could use
XML namespaces to encode information about various
classes or label instance data.   If a URI mechanism
for this doesn't exist, are there suggestions as to
the format for such a monster?  I realize that 
the above may not be valid URIs... 

Kind Regards,

Clark
