+ <p>The Resource Description Framework
+ (<abbr title="Resource Description Framework">RDF</abbr>) is a
+ general-purpose language for representing information in the Web.</p>
+
+ <p>This document defines a textual syntax for RDF called Turtle
+ that allows RDF graphs 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 existing
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-testcases/#ntriples">N-Triples</a>
+ and
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/Notation3">Notation 3</a>
+ formats as well as the triple pattern syntax of the
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-rdf-sparql-query-20080115/">SPARQL</a>
+ W3C Recommendation.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>This document specifies a language that is in common usage under the name
+ "Turtle". It is intended to be compatible with, and a subset of,

+
+ ([<cite><a class="bibref" rel="biblioentry" href="#bib-N-TRIPLES">N-TRIPLES</a></cite>])

+<h2><span class="secno">2. </span>An Introduction to Turtle (Informative)</h2>
+ <p>This section is informative. The
+ <a href="#sec-syntax">Turtle Syntax</a> and <a href="#sec-grammar">Turtle Grammar</a> sections formally define the language.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>A Turtle document allows writing down an RDF graph in a compact
+ textual form. It consists of a sequence of directives, triple-generating
+ statements or blank lines. Comments may be given after a <code>#</code>
+ and continue to the end of the line.</p>
+
+ <p>Simple triples are a sequence of (subject, predicate, object)
+ terms, separated by whitespace and terminated by '.' after each
+ triple. This corresponds to
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-testcases/#ntriples">N-Triples</a>
+ [<cite><a class="bibref" rel="biblioentry" href="#bib-N-TRIPLES">N-TRIPLES</a></cite>].
+ </p>
+
+ <p>There are three types of <em>RDF Term</em>:
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-rdf-concepts-20040210/#dfn-URI-reference">RDF URI References</a> (URIs for short),
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-rdf-concepts-20040210/#dfn-literal">literals</a> and
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-rdf-concepts-20040210/#dfn-blank-node">blank nodes</a>.</p>
+
+ <div id="terms" typeof="bibo:Chapter" about="#terms" class="section">
+ <h3><span class="secno">2.1 </span>RDF Terms</h3>
+
+ <p>URIs are written enclosed in '<' and '>' and may be
+ absolute RDF URI References or relative to the current base URI
+ (described below).
+ </p>
+
+ <pre class="example">
+<script type="text/turtle"># this is not a complete turtle document
+<http://example.org/path/>
+
+<http://example.org/path/#fragment>
+</path>
+<#fragment>
+<>
+</script></pre>
+
+ <p>URIs may also be abbreviated by using Turtle's <code>@prefix</code>
+ directive that allows declaring a short prefix name for a long prefix
+ of repeated URIs. This is useful for many RDF vocabularies that are
+ all defined in nearby namespace URIs, possibly using XML's namespace
+ mechanism that works in a similar fashion.</p>
+
+ <p>Once a prefix such as <code>@prefix foo:
+ <http://example.org/ns#></code> is defined, any mention of a
+ URI later in the document may use a <em>qualified name</em> that
+ starts <code>foo:</code> to stand for the longer URI. So for
+ example, the qualified name <code>foo:bar</code> is a shorthand for
+ the URI <code>http://example.org/ns#bar</code>.</p>
+
+ <pre class="example">
+<script type="text/turtle"># this is a complete turtle document
+@prefix foo: <http://example.org/ns> .
+@prefix : <http://other.example.org/ns> .
+foo:bar foo: : .
+:bar : foo:bar .
+</script></pre>
+
+ <p>Literals are written either using double-quotes when they do not
+ contain linebreaks like <code>"simple literal"</code> or
+ <code>"""long literal"""</code> when they may contain linebreaks.
+ </p>
+
+ <pre class="example">
+<script type="text/turtle"># this is not a complete turtle document
+"a string"
+"""a string"""
+"""a string
+with newlines
+"""
+</script></pre>
+
+ <p>Literals have either a language suffix or a datatype URI
+ but not both. Languages are indicated by appending the simple
+ literal with <code>@</code> and the language tag. Datatype URIs
+ similarly append <code>^^</code> followed by any legal URI form (full
+ or qualified) as described above to give the datatype URI. <span class="non-issue">Literals
+ may be written without either a language tag or a datatype URI as a
+ shortcut for a literal with the type xsd:string.</span>
+ </p>
+
+ <pre class="example">
+<script type="text/turtle"># this is not a complete turtle document
+"chat"
+"chat"@en
+"chat"@fr
+"foo"^^<http://example.org/my/datatype>
+"""10"""^^xsd:decimal
+</script></pre>
+
+ <p>
+ The <code>"chat"</code> above is equivalent to <code>"chat"^^xsd:string</code>.
+ </p>
+
+ <p class="issue">
+ <a href="http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/track/issues/12">ISSUE-12</a> The RDF Working Group is currently examining a simplification of RDF which considers plain literals with no language tag to be literals with a datatype <code>xsd:string</code>.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>Blank nodes are written as <code>_:</code><em>BLANK_NODE_LABEL</em>
+ to provide a blank node either from the given <a href="#prod-turtle2-BLANK_NODE_LABEL">BLANK_NODE_LABEL</a>.
+ A generated blank node may also be made with <code>[]</code>
+
+ which is useful to provide the subject of RDF triples for
+ each pair from the <a href="#prod-turtle2-predicateObjectList">predicateObjectList</a>
+ or the root of the <a href="#prod-turtle2-collection">collection</a>.
+ </p>
+
+ <pre class="example">
+<script type="text/turtle"># this is not a complete turtle document
+_:me
+_:a1234
+</script></pre>
+
+
+ <p>Literals <span class="non-issue">, prefixed names</span>and URIs may also contain escapes to encode surrounding
+ syntax, non-printable characters and to encode Unicode characters by
+ codepoint number (although they may also be given directly, encoded
+ as UTF-8). The character escapes are:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li><code>\t</code> (U+0009, tab)</li>
+ <li><code>\n</code> (U+000A, linefeed)</li>
+ <li><code>\r</code> (U+000D, carriage return)</li>
+
+ <li><code>\"</code> (U+0022, double quote - only allowed inside <a href="#prod-turtle2-String">strings</a>)</li>
+ <li><code>\></code> (U+003E, greater than - only allowed inside <a href="#prod-turtle2-IRI_REF">IRI_REFs</a>)</li>
+ <li><code>\\</code> (U+005C, backslash)</li>
+
+ <li>
+ <code>\u</code><em>HHHH</em> or
+ <code>\U</code><em>HHHHHHHH</em>
+ for writing Unicode characters by hexadecimal codepoint where
+ <em>H</em> is a single hexadecimal digit.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>See the <a href="#sec-strings">String escapes</a> section for full details.</p>

+
+ <p>The current base URI may be altered in a Turtle document using the

+<h2><span class="secno">3. </span>Syntax for IRIs, Literals and Blank Nodes</h2>
+ <p>Turtle is a language for an <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-rdf-concepts-20040210/#dfn-rdf-graph">RDF graph</a>, a set of <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-rdf-concepts-20040210/#dfn-rdf-triple">RDF triple</a>s. An RDF graph is composed of <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-rdf-concepts-20040210/#dfn-URI-reference">URI reference</a>s (now interpreted as IRIs), <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-rdf-concepts-20040210/#dfn-literal">literal</a>s and <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-rdf-concepts-20040210/#dfn-blank-node">blank node</a>s.</p>
+ <p>The Turtle syntax for IRIs is identical to that of SPARQL Query, including the use of <code>prefix</code> and <code>base</code> directives, though these are spelled <code>@prefix</code> and <code>@base</code> respectively in Turtle. Per RFC3986 section 5.1.1, the parsing begins with a context-defined In-Scope Base URI. Each <code>@base</code> directive sets a new In-Scope Base URI, relative to the previous one. <code>@prefix</code> directives map a local name to an IRI, also resolved against the current In-Scope Base URI. Subsequent <code>@prefix</code> may re-map the same local name.</p>
+
+ <p>Turtle IRI syntax, including relative IRI resolution, is defined by <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-query/#QSynIRI">SPARQL Query section 4.1.1</a> (noting the different spellings of the <code>PREFIX</code> and <code>BASE</code> keywords).</p>

+ <dt>Encoding considerations:</dt>
+ <dd>The syntax of Turtle is expressed over code points in Unicode [<cite><a class="bibref" rel="biblioentry" href="#bib-UNICODE">UNICODE</a></cite>]. The encoding is always UTF-8 [<cite><a class="bibref" rel="biblioentry" href="#bib-UTF-8">UTF-8</a></cite>].</dd>

+ <dt>Security considerations:</dt>
+ <dd>Turtle is a general-purpose assertion language; applications may evaluate given data to infer more assertions or to dereference URIs, invoking the security considerations of the scheme for that URI. Note in particular, the privacy issues in [<cite><a class="bibref" rel="biblioentry" href="#bib-RFC3023">RFC3023</a></cite>] section 10 for HTTP URIs. Data obtained from an inaccurate or malicious data source may lead to inaccurate or misleading conclusions, as well as the dereferencing of unintended URIs. Care must be taken to align the trust in consulted resources with the sensitivity of the intended use of the data; inferences of potential medical treatments would likely require different trust than inferences for trip planning.</dd>
+
+ <dd>Turtle is used to express arbitrary application data; security considerations will vary by domain of use. Security tools and protocols applicable to text (e.g. PGP encryption, MD5 sum validation, password-protected compression) may also be used on Turtle documents. Security/privacy protocols must be imposed which reflect the sensitivity of the embedded information.</dd>
+ <dd>Turtle can express data which is presented to the user, for example, RDF Schema labels. Application rendering strings retrieved from untrusted Turtle documents must ensure that malignant strings may not be used to mislead the reader. The security considerations in the media type registration for XML ([<cite><a class="bibref" rel="biblioentry" href="#bib-RFC3023">RFC3023</a></cite>] section 10) provide additional guidance around the expression of arbitrary data and markup.</dd>
+ <dd>Turtle uses IRIs as term identifiers. Applications interpreting data expressed in Turtle should address the security issues of
+ <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3987.txt" class="norm">Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs)</a> [<cite><a class="bibref" rel="biblioentry" href="#bib-RFC3987">RFC3987</a></cite>] Section 8, as well as

+
+ <dd>Multiple IRIs may have the same appearance. Characters in different scripts may
+ look similar (a Cyrillic "о" may appear similar to a Latin "o"). A character followed
+ by combining characters may have the same visual representation as another character
+ (LATIN SMALL LETTER E followed by COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT has the same visual representation
+ as LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE).
+
+<!-- (<code>foo:resum鼯code> and <code>fоо:resumé</code>) -->
+
+ Any person or application that is writing or interpreting data in Turtle must take care to use the IRI that matches the intended semantics, and avoid IRIs that make look similar.
