The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a W3C standard for representing information about resources on the web. RDF is the foundation for linked data and the semantic web, providing a graph-based data model where statements are expressed as subject-predicate-object triples. It enables interoperability between systems by using IRIs to identify resources and relationships, supporting multiple serialization formats including RDF/XML, Turtle, N-Triples, N-Quads, TriG, and JSON-LD. RDF 1.1 is a W3C Recommendation (2014). RDF 1.2 is a Candidate Recommendation (2026) adding triple terms (RDF-star) and directional language-tagged strings.
