RDF query language
An RDF query language is a computer language, specifically a query language for databases, able to retrieve and manipulate data stored in Resource Description Framework format.
SPARQL is emerging as the de facto RDF query language, and is a W3C recommendation. Released as a Candidate Recommendation in April 2006, it returned to Working Draft status in October 2006, due to open issues. It returned to Candidate Recommendation status in June 2007. On 12 November 2007 the status of SPARQL changed into Proposed Recommendation. On 15 January 2008, SPARQL was standardized.

Query language
Query languages are computer languages used to make queries in databases and information systems.
Types
Broadly, query languages can be classified according to whether they are database query languages or information retrieval query languages. The difference is that a database query language attempts to give factual answers to factual questions, while an information retrieval query language attempts to find documents containing information that is relevant to an area of inquiry.
