I'd like to announce an updated version of the little language I've been developing for a while: Turtle - Terse RDF Triple Language http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/discovery/2004/01/turtle/ (previously called N-Triples Plus) The language is based on the N-Triples[1] RDF test case language with the addition of several (now 9) items taken from Notation3[2] that I found the most useful and most used. The last one I've just added was the (...) syntax for RDF collections which is a handy short form. It's defined in an EBNF and I give a few examples, although many N3 ones are also valid if you stick to this subset (mostly subset, see the QNames section). The document also links to a pre-print paper that describes the ideas behind the development. Turtle is also implemented as a language in it's own right in my RDF parser Raptor http://www.redland.opensource.ac.uk/raptor/ with the latest addition in the CVS version only; will be in the 1.2.0 version. Let me know what you think. Cheers Dave [1] N-Triples http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-testcases/#ntriples in RDF Test Cases, which I co-edit [2] Notation3 http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/Notation3 by Tim Berners-Lee
