RDF is an abbreviation for Resource Description Framework which is a way to describe information in terms of triples.

As with other forms of triples data models, RDF can be hard to explain, especially hard to explain as to why it is useful or necessary for anything above and beyond microformats and JSON which are based on a simpler model of objects that have properties with values.

See triples for more on this problem of unnecessary complexity.
