The Resource Description Framework (RDF) provides means to structure knowledge in the form of small Triple facts. ¶

RDS belongs to the Information Exchange Layer of the Semantic Web Technology Stack. ¶

In the Information Exchange Layer we can represent knowledge in the same way we can state Facts and communicate about these Facts. Representing a Fact is pretty simple, it is somehow in RDF like in pretty simple sentences in our Natural Language, because every bit of knowledge, every fact consists out of a Subject (what it refers to), a Property (which means the Subject has a specific Property) and an Objects (which means the Property has a specific Value). ¶

So, Subject, Property and Object form a simple fact in RDF. This is the way how knowledge is Represented in the Semantic Web and machines can read it (i.e. it is Machine-
rUnderstandable).
