N3 (Notation 3)

Semantics. A serialized format for expressing data in the Resource Description Framework Schema (RDFS) data model with the syntax similar to SPARQL. RDF represents information as a triple consisting of Subject, Predicate, and Object. RDF/XML and Terse RDF Triple Language (Turtle) are other serializations of RDF.

namespace

XML. In Extensible Markup Language (XML), XQuery, and SPARQL, element and attribute nodes are always in a namespace, even if that namespace is the empty namespace (sometimes called no namespace). Each namespace has a Internationalized Resource Identifier (IRI) associated with it. An IRI is essentially a unique string that identifies the namespace.
