RDF stands for Resource Description Framework.
The Resource Description Framework (or RDF) is a generic mechanism for encoding MetaData -a framework to gave explicit meaning to infomation- in order to support the processing and exchange of knowledge. It uses XML to express an ontology, i.e., the meaning of each part and its relationships. References:
RDF and other related technologies are fundamental for the SemanticWeb (where you'll find more references). The ESW wiki is dedicated to RDF and related technologies. |
