Hi Ryan, Agreed! I've deprecated APPLICATION_RDF, then added APPLICATION_RDF_XML and TEXT_RDF_N3.
Concerning Turtle, as the suggested MIME type is "application/x-turtle" then constant name would be "APPLICATION_TURTLE" but I'm unsure about adding this as a built-in media type, especially if this changes to "application/turtle" in the future (as suggested here: http://www.dajobe.org/2004/01/turtle/#sec-mime). Anyway, people can always manually define new media types if needed.Ex: new MediaType("application/x-turtle"). Concerning the philosophical question, yes there is a 1-1 mapping between MediaType as MIME types. See the RFC 1590 referred by the HTTP 1.1 spec: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1590.txt I understand your concerns with some RDF frameworks. There is a similar issue with XHTML which is mapped to various media types depending on the case (application/xml, application/xhtml+xml or text/html). Unfortunately you need to deal with this yourself. Maybe you can use content negotiation if those frameworks correctly define the "Accept" HTTP header.
