Semantic web infrastructure is the stack of standards, vocabularies, and services that enable machine-readable, linked data on the web, including RDF, OWL, SPARQL endpoints, triple stores, and ontology registries. It provides the technical substrate for representing entities and relationships as interoperable graphs that agents can query and reason over. It is the backbone for knowledge graphs and linked-data ecosystems.

- The layer cake spans URIs and IRIs for identity, RDF for the data model, RDFS and OWL for semantics, and SPARQL for query. Production deployments add triple stores, reasoners, and ontology registries to support federation, inference, and interoperability across organisations.
