RDF Schema (variously abbreviated as RDFS, RDF(S), RDF-S or RDF/S) is a set of classes with certain properties using the RDF extensible knowledge representation language, providing basic elements for the description of ontologies, otherwise called RDF vocabularies, intended to structure RDF resources.
