Resource Description Framework

The Resource Description Framework, or RDF, is a standardized way of organizing and sharing scientific information on the web by breaking it down into simple statements that connect things together. Think of it like a universal language that lets scientists describe relationships between data—for example, "this protein interacts with that disease" or "this researcher authored that paper"—in a format that computers can easily understand and link across different databases. By using RDF, scientists can make their discoveries more discoverable and interconnected, helping other researchers find and build upon their work more efficiently.
