🆚 HTML vs. RDF

Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is a markup language used to create web pages and is the de facto standard for documents displayed in web browsers.

It defines the structure of web content using elements for text, links, images, forms, tables, and embedded media, organizes documents into a hierarchical DOM, and enables hyperlinking between pages, which is a fundamental mechanism of the World Wide Web.

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.
