A RDF query language is a computer language able to retrieve and manipulate data stored in Resource Description Framework format.

SPARQL is emerging as the de-facto RDF query language, and is on the track towards W3C Recommendation status. Released as a Candidate Recommendation in April 2006, it returned to Working Draft status in October 2006, due to open issues.
