IMHO and at a very low level and if you try to get rid of the marketing
hypes, RDF is just a syntax to serialize graphs exactly like XML is just
a syntax to serialize trees.
Of course you can use RDF to represent trees and XML to represent
graphs, it's not the simplest way to use each of them, but when you want
to use a hammer you can always nail a screw...
