GRDDL is a mechanism for Gleaning Resource Descriptions from Dialects of Languages. This GRDDL specification introduces markup for declaring that an XML document includes gleanable data and for linking to an algorithm, typically represented in XSLT, for gleaning the resource descriptions from the document.

Grâce au « Gleaning Resource Descriptions from Dialects of Languages » (littéralement « glanage des descriptions de ressources à partir des dialectes de langages ») ou GRDDL (à prononcer « griddeul »), les logiciels peuvent automatiquement extraire les informations des pages Web structurées pour les intégrer au Web sémantique.
