Abstract

The resource description framework is a method which help us to interchange and reuse of metadata. Early metadata gives a simple method for performing and reporting Data checks. Checks are indicated in an intuitive way to find at which extend we find the relevant data. Moreover, to create vocabularies to handle metadata of larger data sets and to capture the correct relation between the objects we needed some framework that results us reliable. Resource description framework is XML application which follow organize rules to give clear method of explaining semantics. RDF is a data model. It is simple model which have different statement about resources. Resource can be any object. RDF gave metadata of web data and gave structural information. UML data can also be explained in form of RDF that is quite a fruitful in field of RDF. Transformation from UML to RDF, XML help eminently. Metadata of class diagram acquire through XML then Parsing of XML pledge metadata and retinue the RDF rules to change metadata into RDF Triples. Triple include subject, predicate and object. Which transmits a sense of a sentence. Further we store triples in RDF system. This technique helps to keep data useful for many generations.
