    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.
