+#' rdflib: Tools to Manipulate and Query Semantic Data
+#'
+#' The Resource Description Framework, or RDF is a widely used
+#' data representation model that forms the cornerstone of the 
+#' Semantic Web. 'RDF' represents data as a graph rather than 
+#' the familiar data table or rectangle of relational databases.
+#'
+#' 
+#' It has three main goals:
+#'
+#' \itemize{
+#' \item Easily read, write, and convert between all major RDF serialization formats
+#' \item Support SPARQL queries to extract data from an RDF graph into a data.frame
+#' \item Support JSON-LD format as a first-class citizen in RDF manipulations
+#' }
+#'
+#' For more information, see the Wikipedia pages for RDF, SPARQL, and JSON-LD:
