See the source of rdfdump.c (rapper)

The source of the triples is up to you to provide.  rapper does both
parsing and serializing so there is no data store or requirement for a
file.

Those are just RDF/XML syntax terms and of course as a fully compliant
RDF/XML parser it handles reading those.  Or do you mean serializing,
writing them?  The rdfxml-abbrev serializer emits them in a prettier
form, if that's what you mean.  This is trival to try out.  Pick any
example in the RDF/XML spec section 2
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-rdf-syntax-grammar-20040210/

and do: rapper -i rdfxml -o rdfxml-abbrev  URL
