Resource Description Framework (Rdf)
The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) for describing and exchanging data on the web. It’s designed to represent information about physical objects and abstract concepts, and to express relationships between entities using a graph data model.
