What is an NT file?

NT files mostly belong to Apache Jena. The NT file is used primarily for storing RDF N-Triples data. In this format, each line holds an RDF triple with a subject, predicate, and object. This plain text layout allows programs to parse and manage linked data with minimal processing.
Other uses include:

Game save files – some NT files are used to save game progress in titles such as Newspaper Tycoon (also called Raven's Scroll saved game).

System scripts and configuration – certain NT files serve as Windows batch or startup files, helping with MS-DOS command processing and Windows NT startup routines.

Data containers – on rare occasions, these files act as a ZIP container for network topology data within applications like Microsoft PowerPoint.

Executable or configuration roles – in very uncommon cases, NT files are associated with Windows executable functions or other system configuration tasks.

FilExt.com tip: For detailed specifications on the N-Triples format, visit the W3C N-Triples page.

How to open an NT file

You need a suitable software like Apache Jena to open an NT file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your NT file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a NT file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

Apache Jena
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. NT files are often referred to as Apache Jena data files because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
Windows NT (Command Script) by Microsoft Corporation
After a Windows XP SP2 upgrade (or being attacked by some malware) you may encounter a message about either CONFIG.NT or AUTOEXEC.NT being "...not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications." The DOS 16-bit COMMAND.COM program and/or one of those files has become corrupted. Microsoft has a knowledgebase article on this. What it basically says is that you need to replace the files AUTOEXEC.NT, CONFIG.NT, and COMMAND.COM which are found in your Windows System32 folder with the same-named files found on your original OEM Windows XP CD-ROM. (Copies can also usually be found in the \Windows\Repair subdirectory if you can't find your original CD.) Also, some versions of the Windows XP SP2 update have code that will automatically delete the AUTOEXEC.NT file if found in the System32 folder on the theory that all software should be 32-bit and not 16-bit (as it older programs you might still want to run). If this happens to you try copying the AUTOEXEC.NT file to the System32 folder under the Windows folder and then right click on it, select Properties, and check the Read Only attribute. This should work but if it does not you will have to recopy the file to the proper directory after every restart of the computer. See the FAQ for more information. The Mime types used with this association are: application/x-nt. This file format is classified as Source Code. Program ID is cmdfile Related links: Microsoft Knowledgebase Article, FILExt FAQ on AUTOEXEC.NT

NT format details:

To view or edit NT files you need to know the file format, because it determines how the data in this file is stored. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. Nonetheless, different programs can utilize the same file extension to represent distinct file formats. Double-clicking on the file often results in an error when opening. Knowledge is power - this also applies when dealing with unknown or faulty files. Our evaluation of the NT files looks like this:

An NT file includes various formats for various programs. The two most common formats are as follows:

65% of all NT files use the same file format, which can be identified by the letters "<http" at the beginning. These files are plain text, which means they can be viewed with any text editor such as Windows Editor, Nano for Linux, and TextEdit for macOS. The files are often between 11 KB and 3 GB in size. The file type is relatively new. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns and type. Such NT files store data about mesh, sample, affiliations, bnblodb, dump, information, articles, complete, dbtropes, download, dataset, dbpedia, lexemes, sorted, patho, pheno and yago.
4% of all NT files save the data in EXE file format. EXE is the abbreviation for executable and is the standard executable file format on Windows. The format can be identified by the letters "MZ" at the beginning. Executable files can also be used to distribute viruses and other types of malicious software (malware). The contents of these files cannot be read by a human; only a computer program can interpret the data. A typical file size is 3 MB. The keywords This program must be run under Win32 are typical for these files. delphine.nt is a typical file name. Files like these are sometimes connected to person-related data.

All other NT files (31%) have different formats, often, for example, UTF-8, echo and REM. The category is attraction, tourist or casia. If you want to find out what your NT file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.

How to solve problems with NT files

Associate the NT file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open data files. Because only the current version supports the latest NT file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available Apache Jena update.
To make sure that your NT file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
