So where are you thinking you'll serve the RDF?

    http://uniprot.org/entry/P12345.rdf

would be obvious, but including the ".rdf" in the URI for the protien
itself doesn't seem right.

Maybe

    http://uniprot.org/data/P12345

?

or http://uniprot.org/entry/P12345 but use some technique for serving
HTML and RDF at the same location (such as HTTP Content Negotiation,
or an HTML meta/link/profile technique)?
