I should clarify that I did not in any way intend "useful" to refer to one
schema being better than another, just that there be a schema, so that the
RDF classes and properties could be married to a URI architecture (schema or
ontology, if you will), whether RDFS or OWL - otherwise just looks like
plain XML to me. (Except of course that the XML elements can then be
variously differentiated by category - class and property - based on the RDF
data model.) Sorry for any confusion I may have caused.
