<p>Jena supports <a href="http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/2004/HPL-2004-56.html">TriX</a>, a
simple XML format for RDF, for both reading and writing RDF data.</p>
<p>The support is of the TriX core, without processing instructions.</p>
<p>Both the original HPlabs and W3C DTDs are supported for reading. Writing is
according to the W3C DTD, that is using root element <code>&lt;trix&gt;</code>,
rather than <code>&lt;TriX&gt;</code>.</p>
<p>Note: This format should not be confused with RDF/XML, the W3C standardised XML
format for RDF.</p>
<h3 id="trix-history">TriX History</h3>
<p>TriX originated from work by Jeremy Carroll (then at HP Labs, Bristol) and Patrick
Stickler (then at Nokia) and published as a tech report
<a href="https://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/2004/HPL-2004-56.html">HPL-2004-56</a>
There is also earlier work published in <a href="https://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/2003/HPL-2003-268.html">HPL-2003-268</a>.</p>
<p>The work within the Semantic Web Interest Group on Named Graphs, including TriX,
is documented at <a href="https://www.w3.org/2004/03/trix/">https://www.w3.org/2004/03/trix/</a>.</p>
<p>TriX DTD: <a href="http://www.w3.org/2004/03/trix/trix-1/trix-1.0.dtd">http://www.w3.org/2004/03/trix/trix-1/trix-1.0.dtd</a><br/>
Trix XML Schema: <a href="http://www.w3.org/2004/03/trix/trix-1/trix-1.0.xsd">http://www.w3.org/2004/03/trix/trix-1/trix-1.0.xsd</a></p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.w3.org/2004/03/trix/trix-1/trix-1.0.dtd">W3C DTD</a> differs from
HPL-2004-56 by having root element <code>&lt;trix&gt;</code> not <code>&lt;TriX&gt;</code>.</p>
<pre tabindex="0"><code>&lt;!-- TriX: RDF Triples in XML --&gt;
&lt;!ELEMENT trix (graph*)&gt;
&lt;!ATTLIST trix xmlns CDATA #FIXED &#34;http://www.w3.org/2004/03/trix/trix-1/&#34;&gt;
&lt;!ELEMENT graph (uri, triple*)&gt;
&lt;!ELEMENT triple ((id|uri|plainLiteral|typedLiteral), uri, (id|uri|plainLiteral|typedLiteral))&gt;

&lt;!ELEMENT uri (#PCDATA)&gt;

&lt;!ELEMENT typedLiteral (#PCDATA)&gt;
&lt;!ATTLIST typedLiteral datatype CDATA #REQUIRED&gt;
</code></pre><h3 id="trix-star">TriX-star</h3>
<p>The format is extended for <a href="https://w3c.github.io/rdf-star/">RDF-star</a> with
embedded triples by allowing nested <code>&lt;triple&gt;</code>.</p>
<p>Trix-star (2021) adds &rsquo;triple&rsquo; to subject and object positions
of <code>ELEMENT triple</code>.</p>
<pre tabindex="0"><code>&lt;!ELEMENT triple ((id|uri|plainLiteral|typedLiteral|triple), uri, (id|uri|plainLiteral|typedLiteral|triple))&gt;
</code></pre><h4 id="example">Example</h4>
<p>The Turtle:</p>
<pre tabindex="0"><code>PREFIX : &lt;http://example/&gt;
:s :p &#34;ABC&#34; .
&lt;&lt; :s :p :o &gt;&gt; :q :r .
</code></pre><p>is written in Trix as:</p>
<pre tabindex="0"><code>&lt;trix xmlns=&#34;http://www.w3.org/2004/03/trix/trix-1/&#34;&gt;
&lt;graph&gt;
&lt;triple&gt;
