Dear all,
we currently provide RDF/XML instead of turtle because of internal technical changes in our conversion tool (I should have mentioned it, sorry).
We do know that there is the requirement of having the data in turtle and plan to provide dumps for the GND and the bibliographic data in both serializations.
Best regards,
Julia Hauser
