RDF

RDF is the W3C standard for modeling metadata as a graph of subject-predicate-object triples.

The Resource Description Framework (RDF) provides a flexible syntax for representing information about web resources through a directed, labeled graph. By breaking data into atomic statements called triples (e.g., "Paris" "is capital of" "France"), it enables seamless data integration across disparate systems. This framework powers the Semantic Web and enterprise knowledge graphs, utilizing URIs to identify entities and standardized formats like Turtle or JSON-LD for serialization. It is the architectural foundation for SPARQL querying and OWL reasoning.
