Below is a draft in RDF/N3 of two metatdata items for the picture in Flickr of a stinkhorn mushroom at the La Selva Biological Field Station,

shown reduced at right.

N3 is an RDF format more human readable than RDF/XML. To see an RDF/XML representaion, copy the contents of the gray box into this RDF Validator, in which be sure to select Notation 3 as input format. When you press its validate button, you will see the ugly RDF/XML, plus a pure triples representation.

A minimalist form of the MRTG schema in RDF/N3 is at MRTG N3.
