Resource Description Framework

A family of W3C specifications originally designed as a metadata data model. RDF has come to be used as a general method for conceptual description or modeling of information that is implemented in web resources, using a variety of syntax notations and data serialization formats. It is also used in knowledge management applications. RDF became a W3C Recommendation in 1999. ← Wikipedia ↑ w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts
