FYI -------- Original Message -------- Subject: New RDF 1.1 publications & request for implementer feedback Resent-Date: Sun, 10 Nov 2013 19:47:18 +0000 Resent-From: [email protected] Date: Sun, 10 Nov 2013 20:46:40 +0100 From: Guus Schreiber <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> CC: Public RDF comments list <[email protected]>
Colleagues, The W3C RDF Working Group, which was chartered to simplify and improve RDF without breaking existing deployments, published this week five RDF 1.1 documents as Candidate Recommendations: RDF 1.1 Concepts & Abstract Syntax: http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/ Main change is the inclusion of RDF Datasets as a mechanism for multiple graphs. Another change is that all literals are typed ("plain" literals are still available in concrete syntaxes like Turtle as syntax sugar). RDF 1.1 Semantics: http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-mt/ Updated to reflect the new Concepts document and community feedback on the previous RDF Semantics document. Co-edited by Pat Hayes and Peter Patel-Schneider RDF 1.1 TriG: http://www.w3.org/TR/trig/ TriG is an extension of Turtle for handling multiple graphs. This version of TriG differs slightly from the original proposal in order to maximize alignment with Turtle and SPARQL 1.1. RDF 1.1 N-Triples: http://www.w3.org/TR/n-triples/ RDF 1.1 N-Quads: http://www.w3.org/TR/n-quads/ These are line-based syntaxes and are popular as exchange format. N-Triples is a minimalist subset of Turtle. N-Quads is an extension of N-Triples for handling multiple graphs. We are soliciting feedback from implementers on these specifications. In the draft implementation reports you can find information about the various test suites and how to run these: http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/wiki/#Implementation_reports Earlier this year the group published a Turtle Candidate Recommendation (http://www.w3.org/TR/turtle/), which acts as a companion document to the documents above. The group has also published this week a Proposed Recommendation of JSON-LD, a JSON-based syntax for RDF data (http://www.w3.org/TR/json-ld/). Feedback can be send to [email protected]. More info on the RDF Working Group can be found at http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/wiki/. Thanks in advance for your feedback!
