W3C Team has published new versions of the RDF N3 and the RDF Turtle serialization formats, co-authored by Tim Berners-Lee and Dan Connolly for the former, and David Beckett and Tim Berners-Lee for the latter. The new versions also eliminate some minor incompatibilities between these languages and the SPARQL pattern language.
The authors have also submitted the text/n3 and text/turtle media types to IETF.
