How it works
RDF is a W3C standard for specifying metadata and conceptual descriptions of web resources. It represents information as statements about resources, using triples (subject-predicate-object). RDF enables data to be linked and integrated across the web, forming the basis of the Semantic Web and knowledge graphs.
