AFAICT, the term is not used in the RDF Concepts document, but it *is* used in the RDF Semantcs document.  Also, moving it to RDF Semantics would give it less visibility, which (to my mind) would be appropriate given that standard RDF is what the W3C is intending to promote, rather than generalized RDF.
