text/turtle

RDF for people who have seen RDF/XML and would rather not: Turtle writes semantic-web triples as terse subject-predicate-object statements with prefixes and semicolons, the same pattern syntax SPARQL queries use, so reading one teaches you the other. It became a W3C Recommendation in February 2014 as part of the RDF 1.1 suite and is now the format linked-data vocabularies and ontologies are actually published and diffed in — the XML serialization survives mostly as machine output. It is UTF-8 text with no signature; the only tell is the cloud of @prefix declarations at the top of most files.

.ttl for Turtle; the stricter line-based subset N-Triples uses .nt and its own type.
