Bernhard, maybe it is a misunderstanding. Both RDF/XML and Turtle are a syntax for RDF: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-rdf-syntax/ http://www.w3.org/TR/turtle/ RDF parsers should understand both (and there is also N-Triples, which is another common RDF syntax, mainly used for internal tests and documented at http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-testcases/).
