RDF and SPARQL is one of 15 APIs that [W3C](https://apis.io/providers/w3c/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Linked Data, RDF, Semantic Web, SPARQL, and Standards.

The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a W3C standard for representing information in the web. RDF 1.2 and SPARQL 1.2 are the latest versions, providing the foundation for the semantic web and linked data. RDF triples express knowledge as subject-predicate-object relationships.
