Hmm.  Actually, as far as I can tell, Turtle is not mappable to RDF/XML
because Turtle is supposed to allow writing down arbitrary RDF graphs,
but RDF/XMl cannot.  See
http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-syntax-grammar/#section-Serialising
for more information.

I was looking for the mapping from Turtle to RDF graphs or RDF triples
and couldn't find one.  There is certainly no mapping in the team
submission.
