Yes, RDF will be used in the new back end. Providers should upload their datasets in RDF. QuickStatements [1] will be still supported, by means of a converter [2]: if providers want to stick with it, they just need to run the converter before submitting their datasets. See also [3] for reference.
in a format that might differ somewhat from what is available in the WDQS.
The format is the same as WDQS [4], although it is a subset of the data model, for the sake of simplicity.
As a side note, The Wikidata toolkit seem to have a different RDF format (see first paragraph in [5]): I think it would be great if it could support the WDQS one.
Cheers,
Marco
