RDF

RDF, or Resource Description Framework, is a way to represent information about things on the internet in a structured, machine-readable format. It uses simple statements made up of three parts: a subject (the thing we're describing), a predicate (the property or attribute), and an object (the value or related thing). For example, "Alice (subject) knows (predicate) Bob (object)." These triplets form a web of linked data, enabling computers to understand, integrate, and query information across diverse sources efficiently. RDF is fundamental for building interconnected data systems like the semantic web.
