The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a W3C standard for representing information about resources in a graph of triples. It enables interoperable metadata, linked data and knowledge graph construction across systems. RDF supports extensible schemas and serializations, facilitating semantic integration and data interchange.

RDF is a W3C standard that represents statements as subject-predicate-object triples, enabling linked data and graph models.
RDF emerged at the W3C from the Semantic Web line of work. The first RDF specification became a W3C Recommendation in 1999; RDF 1.1 Concepts defines the current foundational terms.
Each statement is a directed sentence: a resource (subject) is related by a property (predicate) to a resource or literal (object). IRIs identify nodes, triples form edges, and collections of triples form a graph. Shared identifiers let datasets connect across boundaries.
An RDF statement has a subject, predicate, and object.
IRIs identify resources and make cross-dataset links possible.
A set of triples forms a directed, labelled graph.
RDF supports interoperable knowledge graphs and linked data. Modelling choices, vocabularies, and identity rules determine quality; RDF does not provide a complete domain ontology by itself.
