[dotNetRDF-Develop] FW: New RDF 1.1 publications & request for implementer feedback

[Rob V. <rv...@do...>]

FYI

We already support the previously published standardized version of Turtle
but do not yet support most of the other specs mentioned here.  Currently
my plan is not to support these in the 1.x line of dotNetRDF because some
of them require substantial refactoring of our data model and will be much
more easily implemented against the 1.9 branch that will form the basis
for an eventual 2.0 release

The TriG, NTriples and NQuads specifications could be supported on the 1.x
line if someone has the time to implement them.  NTriples and NQuads
should be relatively easy because they primarily just expand the character
set from ASCII -> UTF-8 for these formats, some care will need to be taken
to ensure that backwards compatibility is maintained in the same way we've
done for Turtle.

Relevant tracker issues:

CORE-355 RDF 1.1 NTriples
CORE-356 RDF 1.1 NQuads
CORE-354 RDF 1.1 TriG
