issuer of a SAML request, response, or assertion, or within the element to make assertions about system
entities that can issue SAML requests, responses, and assertions. It can also be used in other elements and
attributes whose purpose is to identify a system entity in various protocol exchanges.

system entity use a URL containing its own domain name to identify itself.
