N-Triples is a line-based, plain text serialisation format for RDF (Resource Description Framework) graphs. It is a subset of the Turtle (Terse RDF Triple Language) format. N-Triples should not be confused with Notation 3 which is a superset of Turtle. N-Triples was primarily developed by Dave Beckett at the University of Bristol and Art Barstow at the W3C. N-Triples was designed to be a simpler format than Notation 3 and Turtle, and therefore easier for software to parse and generate.

dbpprop:abstract
  • N-Triples is a line-based, plain text serialisation format for RDF (Resource Description Framework) graphs. It is a subset of the Turtle (Terse RDF Triple Language) format. N-Triples should not be confused with Notation 3 which is a superset of Turtle. N-Triples was primarily developed by Dave Beckett at the University of Bristol and Art Barstow at the W3C. N-Triples was designed to be a simpler format than Notation 3 and Turtle, and therefore easier for software to parse and generate. However, because it lacks some of the shortcuts provided by other RDF serialisations (such as CURIEs and nested resources, which are provided by both RDF/XML and Turtle) it can be onerous to type out large amounts of data by hand, and difficult to read.
