About the presentation.
The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a family of W3C specifications designed as a metadata data model, which has come to be used as a general method of modeling information through a variety of syntax formats. The RDF metadata model is based upon the idea of making statements about Web resources in the form of subject-predicate-object expressions, called triples in RDF terminology. RDF and various support mechanisms are now available in Drupal in form of RDF, BitCache, SPARQL and other modules.
