RDF represents information using semantic triples, which comprise a subject, predicate, and object.
For example, information about Huckleberry Finn could be expressed as: Turtle was defined by Dave Beckett as a subset of Tim Berners-Lee and Dan Connolly's Notation3 (N3) language, and a superset of the minimal N-Triples format.
[1] A significant proportion of RDF toolkits include Turtle parsing and serializing capability.
[2] TriG RDF syntax extends Turtle with support for named graphs.
