Sorry, your understanding isn't complete.  DC was a major input into
RDF's design, is a major customer and continues to influence it.  If
you take a look at pretty much any RDF application, it uses DC terms
and if you look at the DC website - http://www.dublincore.org/ -
there are RDF(/XML) profiles (one of which is edited by me).  Several
DC apps and systems are built using the RDF model and tools, of which
you can find many pretty easily from either above URL or the RDF
website itself http://www.w3.org/RDF/ which lists DC there.
