About

FOAF (Friend Of A Friend) is a machine-readable ontology describing persons, their activities and their relations to other people and objects.

Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a W3C standard model for describing and exchanging graph-based data on the web.

It enables linking and integration of data across different vocabularies, represents information as subject-predicate-object triples forming directed graphs, and supports serialization formats such as RDF/XML for XML-based data exchange as well as Turtle and JSON-LD.
