Please send a strong signal out to RDF authors deprecating the following "native" RDF serializations: * RDF/XML * N-Triples * N3 * TRiG * N-Quads * anything else that isn't TURTLE :) That is, something that we can point people to and say: W3C says not to use that, don't use it for any future work, put a bullet in the serialization. The only officially supported RDF serializations should be: * TURTLE * TURTLE Lite TURTLE Lite would effectively be a subset of TURTLE - N-Quads, or something that would be N-Quads-like (allowing for either "s p o" or "s p o c" statements). Note that I left RDFa and JSON-LD out of this as I don't view them as "native" RDF serializations. RDFa can express RDF in other Host Languages, but can be transformed to other things like JSON-LD without passing through RDF. JSON-LD just happens to have a way to convert it to RDF and back loss-lessly, but that's a happy side effect of the serialization. The goal would be to simplify the dizzying array of options authors have in front of them right now and send a clear message about what they should be using and not using. -- manu -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny) President/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: PaySwarm Website for Developers Launched http://digitalbazaar.com/2012/02/22/new-payswarm-alpha/
