There seems to be some white box/black box confusion here. The external appearance (black box) is an RDF graph and that is what matters for a recommendation; the design objective is just making clear that the RDF graph may be realised/described within the deploying server (that is a different view point - it's the deployment view) using some other system (and is a white box oriented view).
