Socrata was acquired by Tyler Technologies in 2018 and is now the Data and Insights division of Tyler. The platform is still powered by the same software formerly known as Socrata but you will see references to Data & Insights going forward.

RDF-XML Format

The RDF (Resource Description Framework) format is a little different than the other formats, because the dataset (or view) owners are able to map the output to different semantic web schemas through changing either the metadata on the dataset itself or metadata on the columns of the dataset.

For example, the following URL

    https://data.cityofchicago.org/resource/xzkq-xp2w.rdf?$limit=1

yields:

<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="https://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:rdfs="https://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#" xmlns:socrata="https://www.socrata.com/rdf/terms#" xmlns:dcat="https://www.w3.org/ns/dcat#" xmlns:ods="https://open-data-standards.github.com/2012/01/open-data-standards#" xmlns:dcterm="https://purl.org/dc/terms/" xmlns:geo="https://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos#" xmlns:skos="https://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#" xmlns:foaf="https://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/" xmlns:dsbase="https://data.cityofchicago.org/resource/" xmlns:ds="https://data.cityofchicago.org/resource/xzkq-xp2w/">
  <dsbase:xzkq-xp2w rdf:about="https://data.cityofchicago.org/resource/xzkq-xp2w/1">
    <socrata:rowID>1</socrata:rowID>
    <rdfs:member rdf:resource="https://data.cityofchicago.org/resource/xzkq-xp2w"/>

    <ds:employee_annual_salary>90744.00</ds:employee_annual_salary>
  </dsbase:xzkq-xp2w>
</rdf:RDF>

You can modify the returned format by changing the values in the metadata for the column.
