Getting started with Turtle or Semantic Web?

I only recently learned about Turtle but it seems like a fun way to represent data. I’m curious to learn more & mess around with it or similar formats for representing the meaning of English text. Anyone have any suggestions for projects, libraries, etc to look into?

What thing called turtle are you referring to?

I guess it is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtle_(syntax)

Exactly

It plays a big role in solidproject.org.

That said, there is no way it is feasible to represent the meaning of arbitrary English text in Turtle (or any other RDF serialisation format). There’s a reason the “Semantic Web” concept never really caught on.

I appreciate that, but I find it a satisfying challenge for approximate algorithms.

Well, check out Solid and let me know if you have questions, I have worked with it (and Turtle).
