About

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.

XRDS (Extensible Resource Descriptor Sequence) is an XML-based file format that provides a list of service endpoints (e.g., OpenID) available on a website.
