Well, tracker-extract actually *never* returned turtle, at least as far
as I know (now, I'm not completely familiar with that component). I
guess the fact that previous versions returned SPARQL that looked like
turtle is at most a coincidence :) (note: turtle does not have INSERT
either). GetMetadata being an internal API call, it's not exactly
meant to be easy to use for 3rd party apps, and it's actually tied
quite tightly with the SPARQL the the FS miner generates. I'm not sure
of what would be the easiest way for you to use that API now :/ Getting
the complete SPARQL and inserting it into an in-memory db (for example
Sesame) before querying it would be an option, but that really sounds
complex and sub-optimal... A simpler option would be to apply a few
transformations to the SPARQL to make it look like turtle again, but
that does not sounds like a bullet proof solution.

Cheers
