==== Abstract ====
  : //The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a general-purpose language for representing information in the Web.//

  : //This document defines a textual [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:s:syntax|syntax]] for RDF called Turtle that allows an RDF graph to be completely written in a compact and natural text form, with abbreviations for common usage patterns and datatypes. Turtle provides levels of compatibility with the N-Triples [N-TRIPLES] format as well as the triple pattern syntax of the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.b_stds:tech:w3c:sparql|SPARQL W3C Recommendation]].//
