| | Resource Description Framework - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) |
 | | The RDF metadata model is based upon the idea of making statements about resources in the form of subject-predicate-object expressions, called triples in RDF terminology. |
 | | The subject denotes the resource, and the predicate denotes traits or aspects of the resource and expresses a relationship between the subject and the object. |
 | | The purpose of RDF is to provide an encoding and interpretation mechanism so that resources can be described in a way that particular software can understand it; in other words, so that software can access and use data that it otherwise couldn't. |
