+ <p>The Resource Description Framework
+ (<abbr title="Resource Description Framework">RDF</abbr>) is a
+ general-purpose language for representing information in the Web.</p>
+
+ <p>This document defines an
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xml-20001006">XML</a>
+
+ syntax for RDF called RDF/XML in terms of
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xml-names-19990114/">Namespaces in XML</a>,
+ the
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xml-infoset-20011024/">XML Information Set</a>
+ and <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xmlbase-20010627/">XML Base</a>.
+ The <a href="#section-Infoset-Grammar">formal grammar</a> for the syntax
+ is annotated with actions generating triples of the
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-rdf-concepts-20040210/#dfn-rdf-graph">RDF graph</a>
+ as defined in
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-rdf-concepts-20040210/">RDF Concepts and Abstract Syntax</a>.
+ The triples are written using the
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-rdf-testcases-20040210/#ntriples">N-Triples</a>
+
+ RDF graph serializing format which enables more precise recording of
+ the mapping in a machine processable form. The mappings are
+ recorded as tests cases, gathered and published in
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-rdf-testcases-20040210/">RDF Test Cases</a>.</p>

+ <p>This document defines the
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xml-20001006">XML</a>
+ <a href="#ref-xml">[XML]</a>
+ syntax for RDF graphs
+ which was originally defined in the
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-rdf-syntax-19990222/">RDF Model & Syntax</a> <a href="#ref-rdfms">[RDF-MS]</a> W3C
+ Recommendation. Subsequent implementations of this syntax and
+ comparison of the resulting RDF graphs have shown that there was
+ ambiguity — implementations generated different graphs and certain
+ syntax forms were not widely implemented.</p>
+
+ <p>This document revises the
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-rdf-syntax-19990222/#grammar">original RDF/XML grammar</a>
+ in terms of
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xml-infoset-20011024/">XML Information Set</a>
+ <a href="#ref-xml-infoset">[INFOSET]</a> information items which moves
+ away from the rather low-level details of XML, such as particular
+ forms of empty elements. This allows the grammar to be more
+ precisely recorded and the mapping from the XML syntax to the RDF
+ Graph more clearly shown. The mapping to the RDF graph is done by
+ emitting statements in the form defined in the
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-rdf-testcases-20040210/#ntriples">N-Triples</a>
+ section of
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-rdf-testcases-20040210/">RDF Test Cases</a> <a href="#ref-rdf-tests">[RDF-TESTS]</a>
+ which creates an RDF graph, that has semantics defined by
+
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-rdf-mt-20040210/">RDF Semantics</a> <a href="#ref-rdf-semantics">[RDF-SEMANTICS]</a>.
