SPARQL Protocol And RDF Query Language (SPARQL)

Return to Glossary

SPARQL Protocol And RDF Query Language (SPARQL) is an acronym standing in for both the query language itself, and the protocol through which operators use it. Human operators use SPARQL to make queries and retrieve information from data that is stored in a Resource Description Framework (RDF) format. RDF is a standard designed by the W3C for the exchange of data over the internet.
