RDF is the '''Resource Development Description Framework'''. It is a way of organizing multiple, different internet resources. It describes what they are (URL, mailbox, mail message, newsgroup, etc), and how they relate to each other. Also, one RDF can dynamically update another RDF over a network.
RDF is a general way of describing data that will give more powerto applications that use that data. This is done by reducing all collections into nuggets of information called ''triples and ''. It is intended forsituations where information needs to be displayed '''and''' processed by applications and not only being displayedan application. RDF was originally based on identifying things using Web identifiers called URI's (Uniform Resource Identifiers). It can now use URI, literal, or blanks.
