RDF/XML is a syntax,[http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-syntax-grammar/ RDF/XML Syntax Specification], W3C defined by the W3C, to express (i.e. serialize) an RDF graph as an XML document. RDF/XML is sometimes misleadingly called simply RDF because it was introduced among the other W3C specifications defining RDF and it was historically the first W3C standard RDF serialization format.

RDF/XML is the primary exchange syntax for OWL 2, and must be supported by all OWL 2 tools.{{cite web |url=https://www.w3.org/TR/2012/REC-owl2-overview-20121211/#Syntaxes |title=OWL 2 Web Ontology Language Document Overview (Second Edition) |author= |date=11 December 2012 |website=www.w3.org |publisher=W3C |access-date=23 May 2022 |quote=}}
