In [[computing]], '''Resource Directory Description Language''' ('''RDDL''') is an extension of [[XHTML]] Basic 1.0. An RDDL document, called a Resource Directory, provides a package of information about some target. The targets which RDDL was designed to describe are [[XML Namespace]]s.

RDDL is designed to allow both human readers and software robots to find any sort of resource associated with a particular namespace. Instead of putting one thing at the end of a namespace [[Universal Resource Identifier|URI]], RDDL puts a document there that lists all the machine-processibleprocessable documents that might be available, including, but not limited to:

* [[Document Type Definition]]s
