W3C Resource Description Framework
The World-Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
Resource Description Framework (RDF)
provides the foundation for metadata interoperability across different
resource description communities . One of the major obstacles facing
the resource description community is the multiplicity of incompatible
standards for metadata syntax and schema definition languages. This has
lead to the lack of, and low deployment of, cross-discipline
applications and services for the resource description communities. The
RDF provides a solution to these problems via a Syntax specification
and Schema specification. Both of these specificatiions are based
on XML.
