draft of RDF format example

I have made a first draft of the example RDF format of requirement 
4.1.1. (see below)
It consists of a set of "import" type statements that define the "terms" 
being used, then there is a meta data header followed by the body or 
content of the file (in this case 2 annotations of user utterances)

RDF is primarily aimed at semantic web applications where the data is to 
be read by another application, rather than a person. It contains a lot 
of data so is heavier than XML.

However, one useful point for what we are doing is that terms can be 
defined and referenced, as opposed to XML where the terms are your own 
construction and are not defined, so if you had an XML attribute called 
"label" you do not know if that means a "tag", a package label or a 
record label. With RDF there is a URI to where each term is defined so 
this ambiguity is resolved. Our effort has making terms unambiguous as a 
goal I think?
