The intent is really to be able to maintain a domain model
and have other realizations from it. One could use RDF/XML for
this (
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/BestPractices/SE/ODA/),
but this implicitly assumes that a developer uses tools for
this. Turtle provides a way for us to manage a domain model much
like code, in that we can maintain it in a source control system
and follow its evolution. And because there is a world that
likes to see things graphically, we could generate UML from this
automatically of a Turtle->UML mechanism existed.
Stephen hinted on a plausible direction, and that is a route
we may take if nothing already exists.
btw, the OMG has
worked on standardising UML and rdf some time ago
