----------------------------------------------------------------------

X. Internet Media Type, File Extension and Macintosh File Type (Normative)

The Internet Media Type / MIME Type for the SPARQL Query Results XML
Format is "application/sparql-results+xml".

It is recommended that result files have the extension ".srq" (all
lowercase) on all platforms.

It is recommended that result files stored on Macintosh HFS file
systems be given a file type of "TEXT".


This information that follows is intended to be submitted to the IESG
for review, approval, and registration with IANA.

Subject: Registration of media type application/sparql-results+xml

Type name:
  application

Subtype name:
  sparql-results+xml

Required parameters:
  None

Optional parameters:

             specified in [RFC3023], section 3.2.

Encoding considerations:
  Identical to those of "application/xml" as specified in [RFC3023],
  section 3.2.

Security considerations:
  SPARQL query results uses URIs.  See Section 7 of [RFC3986].

  SPARQL query results uses IRIs.  See Section 8 of [RFC3987].

  As this media type uses the "+xml" convention, it shares the same
  security considerations as described in [RFC3023], section 10.

Interoperability considerations:
  There are no known interoperability issues.

Published specification:
  http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-XMLres/
