Here's how I look at it. OO programming lends itself to box-and-line diagrams, and they help understanding. RDF *is* all about boxes-and-lines (to oversimplify!). If you are going to have some language, some data model, for capturing and talking about your programming things, why wouldn't you want one that is a standard instead of proprietary? RDF as a DSL!
