W3C Issues Recommendation for Resource Description Framework (RDF)
The Resource Description Framework (RDF) Model and Syntax specification is the result of cross-industry and expert agreement on a wide range of features for using and providing metadata on the Web. "The Web is quickly becoming the world's fastest growing repository of data," explained Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director. "RDF provides the necessary foundation and infrastructure to support the description and management of this data. RDF can transform the Web into a more useful and powerful information resource."
