The first line of the RDF document is the XML declaration. The XML
declaration is followed by the root element of RDF documents: <rdf:RDF>.
The xmlns:rdf namespace, specifies that elements with the rdf prefix
are from the namespace "http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#".
The xmlns:cd namespace, specifies that elements with the cd prefix
are from the namespace "http://www.recshop.fake/cd#".
The <rdf:Description> element contains the
description of the resource identified by the rdf:about attribute.
The elements: <cd:artist>, <cd:country>, <cd:company>, etc. are properties of the resource.
RDF Online Validator
W3C's RDF
Validation Service is useful when learning RDF. Here you can
experiment with RDF files.
The online RDF Validator parses your RDF document, checks your syntax, and
generates tabular and graphical views of your RDF document.
Copy and paste the example below into W3C's RDF validator:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rdf:RDF
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
xmlns:si="http://www.recshop.fake/siteinfo#">
<rdf:Description rdf:about="http://www.w3schools.com/RDF">
<si:author>Jan Egil Refsnes</si:author>
<si:homepage>http://www.w3schools.com</si:homepage>
</rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>

When you parse the example above, the result will look something like this.
