The W3C RDF Working Group has published a Working Draft of RDF 1.1 Concepts and Abstract Syntax. This document defines the RDF data model. Notable changes since the previous working draft include the introduction of new datatypes for HTML fragments and language-tagged strings, a re-worked XML datatype, and a rewritten introduction. Going forward, the Working Group expects to extend the data model with support for multiple graphs.
