I like the sound of the 'compactness' of the format, but I worry that there is a lack of tools that support the format (ie browsers, mainly). It is quite nice to naturally navigate the rdf world with a standard browser. But for transfer standards, I suppose this wouldn't matter.

Subject: [tdwg-tag] RDF N3
To: "Technical Architecture Group mailing list" <Tdwg-tag(a)lists.tdwg.org>
Let's make N3 be the recommended RDF representation. It is way more
compact and human readable than RDF/XML. We could even specify a
normative conversion tool if necessary.

Dear colleague,
The team listed below is charged by the Global Biodiversity
Information Facility (GBIF) with developing a position paper about its
future needs for Knowledge Organization Systems (KOS), a rubric which
includes thesauri, controlled vocabularies, ontologies, gazetteers,
linked data, and other such resources. The paper will cover tools,
impediments to deployment, training requirements, etc. After we draft
it, the position paper will be put forth for a period of public
comment before final recommendations to GBIF.
In order to put together the position paper, we solicit your opinions,
experiences, needs, and information on resources you already in place
about Knowledge Organization for biodiversity research. Please go to
http://surveymonkey.com/GBIFKOSurvey to participate in the survey.
We especially value your input about points you feel the survey doesn’t cover.
Please feel free to forward this invitation to mailing lists or
colleagues you feel appropriate, hopefully to people who may not have
seen it already.
Thanks
GBIF KOS position paper team
Bob Morris, Convenor.
