The 2004 standard specifications do not make a sharp distinction between RDF and RDFS, but the semantics works in stages defined by the vocabularies, and so "RDF entailment" includes rdf:type, but none of the RDFS namespace vocabulary. So Vishai's single triple would be considered to be in RDF.

RDF supports this concept by providing a predefined property, rdf:type. When an RDF resource is described with an rdf:type property, the value of that property is considered to be a resource that represents a category or class of things, and the subject of that property is considered to be an instance of that category or class."
