An RDF query language is a computer language, specifically a query language for databases, able to retrieve and manipulate data stored in Resource Description Framework format.

SPARQL has emerged as the de facto RDF query language, and in 2008 became a W3C recommendation.[1][2]

Other notable RDF query languages include:

  • DQL, XML-based, queries and results expressed in DAML+OIL
  • XUL has a template element in which to declare rules for matching data in RDF. XUL uses RDF extensively for databinding.
  • Adenine (programming language written in RDF).
