A model for describing and interchanging metadata. It allows a Web site to describe its dynamic (user-created) content without having to store static pages that contain that content.
A framework for constructing languages for describing web resources.
RDF integrates a variety of applications from library catalogues 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 esource escription ramework is built upon an XML base and provides a more modern means of accessing data from Internet resources. It can provide metadata (including annotations) for web pages making (among other things) searching more capable. It is also being used to refashion some existing formats like RSS and iCalendar; in the former case it is already in place (at least for newer RSS versions), but it is still experimental in the latter case.
From Requirements for String Identity Matching and String Indexing ( 1998-07-10) A data model and streaming format for metadata, with search engines and inference engines as potential users. Much metadata is textual, and a basic operation is to decide whether two elements of metadata are the same or not. For consistent behavior, string identity matching is necessary.
esource escription ramework - Provides a way to create and shre the necessary data describing the web resources.
Resource Definition Format. This proposed standard provides interoperability between applications that exchange machine-understandable information on the Web. RDF is based on XML and is currently under review by the W3C.
From Glossary of "Weaving the Web" ( 1999-07-23) A framework for constructing logical languages that can work together in the Semantic Web. A way of using XML for data rather than just documents. The RDF home page
a language for describing relationships between resources using specific vocabularies (“ontologiesâ€) so that knowledge models we have in the real world can be better correlated for information re-use.
a formal data model from the W3C using XML for the description of web resources using machine readable metadata. It has potential for use in the semantic web.
resource definition framework. A family of specifications maintained by the W3C for a metadata model that provides an ontology system to support the exchange of information and knowledge on the Web using XML as an interchange syntax. It integrates information and content from library catalogues and worldwide directories to syndication and aggregation of news.
The basis of the Semantic Web, Resources Description Framework (RDF) is a framework for representing metadata (i.e., data about data) about resources that exist on the Web. RDF uses XML syntax. Learn more on the W3C RDF page, and check out how Altova makes RDF creation and editing easy.
Resource Description Framework
Resource denied frame. A type of SMT frame in FDDI used by a station to respond to an unsupported optional frame class or unsupported version of SMT.

Acronym: Resource Description Format. This is the format in which the ODP data is made available for download. Approximately weekly the "RDF dump" is made. This is when new files are generated. During this time editors with catmv abilities are unable to move/rename any categories.
Web Design robots.txt Web Design
An XML DTD that describes resources of all types for easy cataloging, searching, and referencing. Also see DTD
RDF is a family of specifications for a metadata model that is often implemented as an application of XML. The RDF family of specifications is maintained by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and used to provide standard descriptions of web resources.
Resource Description Language - for metadata
(Resource Definition Framework) A set of rules (a sort of language) for creating descriptions of information, especially information available on the World Wide Web. RDF could be used to describe a collection of books, or artists, or a collection of web pages as in the RSS data format which uses RDF to create machine-readable summaries of web sites. RDF is also used in XPFE applications to define the relationships between different collections of elements, for example RDF could be used to define the relationship between the data in a database and the way that data is displayed to a user.
Describes formal metadata that provides interoperability between applications that exchange information on the Web. The primary use of RDF is to enable automated processing of Web resources. www.w3.org/RDF
A method for specifying the syntax of metadata, used to exchange metadata.
Basic model for expressing knowledge in the Semantic Web.
