Expand description
Statements and Graphs as well as implementations of these for common representations.
The following are some well-known formats (see Wikipedia
for a description of different serializations), support is indicated in the final column with
an R for read support and W for write support. One additional module, dot allows for the
creation of GraphViz dot files for a visualization of a graph’s structure.
| Module | Name | MIME Type | R/W |
|---|---|---|---|
nt | RDF 1.1 N-Triples; A line-based syntax for an RDF graph | application/n-triples | R+W |
nq | RDF 1.1 N-Quads; A line-based syntax for RDF datasets | application/n-quads | W |
turtle | RDF 1.1 Turtle; Terse RDF Triple Language | text/turtle | W |
trig | RDF 1.1 TriG; RDF Dataset Language | application/trig | |
xml | RDF 1.1 XML Syntax | application/rdf+xml | W |
json | RDF 1.1 JSON Alternate Serialization | application/rdf+json | W |
n3 | Notation3 (N3): A readable RDF syntax | text/rdf+n3 | W |
| TBD | Binary RDF Representation for Publication and Exchange (HDT) | N/A | |
| TBD | RDF Binary using Apache Thrift | application/x-binary-rdf | |
| TBD | JSON-LD 1.1; A JSON-based Serialization for Linked Data | application/ld+json | |
| TBD | RDFa Core 1.1 - Third Edition | text/html |
Each module will also provide public constants NAME, FILE_EXTENSION, and MIME_TYPE.
