This issue comes up more than one would hope. Ivan Herman's work on
http://www.w3.org/ns/formats/ is one answer (as Tim has pointed out) and
dcterms:format doesn't quite cover it. When working on ADMS we had to
come up with a new Class and property pair. See
http://www.w3.org/ns/adms#adms:representationTechnique
(ADMS is under development in the W3C Gov Linked Data WG but is already
being used by various public sector bodies).

Was wondering if anyone knew of a predicate that could be used to define
the data format in a document.
It's not the MIME type, more a level of granularity within a mime type
to represent certain evolutions of the project.
I've looked at
owl : versionInfo -- but that seems only to apply to ontologies
doap : version -- but that seems to apply to projects
http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/pim/doc#version -- seems to be the
version of the document
What I'm looking for is a string that say the data in the document is of
a certain kind e.g. opensocial v0.1 vs opensocial v0.2
I know RDF should be perfectly self descriptive, but this will give the
processor a hint as to what it will find, any bugs etc.
How about
http://dublincore.org/documents/2012/06/14/dcmi-terms/?v=terms#MediaType
or
something in http://www.w3.org/ns/formats/
?
