Thanks Jeremy for the pointers. And I agree with Paul about go for a more "friendly" and readable format to serialize RDF such as Turtle. Even parsing process will be more efficient reading line-by-line a large file. I liked the explanation given in the documentation about Wikidata/Development/RDF [1] using Turtle as syntax for the statements, is very clear. Anyway, looking forward to have access to those triples.

I took a look at that and was concerned about the plan to release a future data dump in the RDF/XML format.
Most people these days think of RDF/XML as obsolete and the future is in the Turtle family of languages. RDF/XML has various problems: it can't express all legal RDF statements and it is also difficult for humans and computers to parse. If you look at an N-Triples file you see triples, but you often have to think hard to see the triples in an RDF/XML file.

Any idea if there is already some RDF dump of Wikidata or when will be available for download?
Please take a look at http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata-l/2013-May/002211.html and you can subscribe to https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/47714
(I think that's all still accurate. someone will correct me if not)
