First Draft of RDF 1.1 Concepts and Abstract Syntax Published

Author(s) and publish date

Published:: 30 August 2011

The RDF Working Group has published the First Public Working Draft of RDF 1.1 Concepts and Abstract Syntax. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a framework for representing information in the Web. This document defines an abstract syntax (a data model) on which RDF is based, and which serves to link concrete syntaxes to its formal semantics. It also includes discussion of key concepts, datatyping, character normalization and handling of IRIs. Learn more about the Semantic Web Activity.
