You probably noticed this already, but just for the record: many RDF
toolkits support reading/writing the Turtle [1] subset of N3, the
parts needed to describe RDF graphs.

Many tools also support the SPARQL Query Language and RDF Protocol
[2], which uses N3/Turtle-like syntax for graph patterns. Though not
rules per se, it's CONSTRUCT [3] enables a bit of similar
functionality.

Cheers,
Danny.
