Notation3 (N3) is a human readable and writable format with lots of syntactic sugar to make RDF authoring easy. N-Quads [1] is "a line-based syntax for an RDF datasets", and more closely related to N-Triples [2]. These just one have triple per line, and don't support @prefix or @base. They're very quick to read and write (by machine), split and combine, though.
