RDF Schema
Schema for knowledge representation / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
RDF Schema (Resource Description Framework 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 data model, providing basic elements for the description of ontologies. It uses various forms of RDF vocabularies, intended to structure RDF resources. RDF and RDFS can be saved in a triplestore, then one can extract some knowledge from them using a query language, like SPARQL.

The first version[1][4] was published by the World-Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in April 1998, and the final W3C recommendation was released in February 2014.[3] Many RDFS components are included in the more expressive Web Ontology Language (OWL).
