<#x> a <#Agent> .  # Is an RDF statement expressed in Turtle Notation.

The same RDF statement is expressible is a variety of other notations, 
represented in persistent form using a serialization format (or content 
type). That's the beauty of RDF (i.e., entity relationship graph based 
structured data representation using a variety of notations and 
serialization formats).

RDF statements are persisted as document content.

Unfortunately, RDF often gets conflated with a specific notation and/or 
serialization format.
