Answer 1

Try something like this:

String syntax = "RDF/XML-ABBREV"; // also try "N-TRIPLE" and "TURTLE"
StringWriter out = new StringWriter();
model.write(out, syntax);
String result = out.toString();

This uses Jena's built-in writers that can already output RDF graphs in the various supported RDF syntaxes, such as RDF/XML and Turtle and N-Triples. If you just want to dump to System.out, then it's even easier:

model.write(System.out, "RDF/XML-ABBREV");
