This is documented somewhere on the owncloud website. It is worth noting 
however, that some clients can be set up with shorter URLs. E.g. I use 
CardDAV-sync and CalDAV-sync on an Android tablet (both work as 
expected), and yesterday I realized, you can set up syncing with 
owncloud in CardDAV-sync with a URL:

/remote.php/carddav

The developer of CardDAV calls it "auto provisioning":
http://dmfs.org/wiki/index.php?title=Auto-provisioning

But other clients need the full path as described in the official docs 
of owncloud.
