RDF load data formats

To load Resource Description Framework (RDF) data, you can use one of the following standard formats as specified by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C):

• N-Triples (ntriples) from the specification at https://www.w3.org/TR/n-triples/

• N-Quads (nquads) from the specification at https://www.w3.org/TR/n-quads/

• RDF/XML (rdfxml) from the specification at https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-syntax-grammar/

• Turtle (turtle) from the specification at https://www.w3.org/TR/turtle/

Important

All files must be encoded in UTF-8 format.

For N-Quads and N-triples data that includes Unicode characters, \uxxxxx escape sequences are supported. However, Neptune does not support normalization. If a value is present that requires normalization, it will not match byte-to-byte during querying. For more information about normalization, see the Normalization page on Unicode.org.
