<h2>RDF Vocabularies</h2>

<p>The RDF data model provides a way to make statements about
(Web) resources. As we mentioned, this data model does not make any
assumptions about what these resources stand for. In practice, RDF
- is typically used in combination with vocabularies or other
- conventions that provide semantic information about these
- resources. For example, if you put the VIAF IRI for Leonardo da
- Vinci (see Sec. <a href="#subsection-IRI">"IRI"</a>) in your
- browser you will see a page with information about this
- person. VIAF maintains a very large set of such person
- records.</p>
