OVERVIEW

---

RDF, or, Resource Description Framework is described by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) thus:

"The Resource Description Framework (RDF) integrates a variety of applications from library catalogs and world-wide directories to syndication and aggregation of news, software, and content to personal collections of music, photos, and events using XML as an interchange syntax.

The RDF specifications provide a lightweight ontology system to support the exchange of knowledge on the Web."

The Resource Description Framework is a specification which allows machine to machine processing of data and as such provides a basis for transactions of trust to take place, such as financial exchange or online collaboration.
