'''{{PAGENAME}}'''
A '''{{PAGENAME}}''' (RDF) is a method that can be used to more accurately label information so people and search engines can find it. Add simple hidden annotations to your text, known as [[Semantic tagging|semantic tags]], and your information (content) is more accurately categorized, found and ranked by search engines. RDF increases the value of your content in many ways, such as for [[Search engine optimization|search engine optimization]] (SEO).
Since semantic tags act like an index to your content that both computers and people can use to better understand it, RDF is used as a language for representing information about resources in the World Wide Web. The RDF metadata model makes statements about resources as subject-predicate-object expressions, "triples" in RDF terminology. A triple is very simple to understand. The content "The cat has the color orange" organized for expression in RDF would be:
*Subject = "the cat"
*Predicate = "has the color"
*Object = "orange"
The subject is the resource, and the predicate (denoting traits or aspects of the subject) expresses a relationship between the subject and the object.
