Turtle
Syntax
uses qnames - binds them to global URIs
@prefix mfg: <http://www.example.com/manufacturing#>
@prefix rdf: http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#
triples are expressed in the following way, with dot separating triples
mfg:Product1 rdf:type mfg:Product .
a is a shortcut for rdf:type
- so it can read in more natural English
- Product1 is a Product
mfg:Product1 a mfg:Product .
When we describe the same subject, can use “;”:
mfg:Product1 rdf:type mfg:Product; mfg:productId "..." .
When we have same subject and same predicate, just use spaces
lit:Shakespeare b:hasChild b:Susanne b:Judith b:Hamlet .
Blank nodes:
[a bio:Woman; bio:livedIn geo:England]- can be used as a subject:
lit:Sonnet78 lit:hasInspiration [a bio:Woman; bio:livedIn geo:England]
