OWL & RDF

Does someone know why OWL keep the syntax of RDF? And saying the following
two expressions are the same and both allowed
<owl:Class rdf:ID="Continent"/> <rdf:Description rdf:about="#Continent">
  <rdf:type rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#Class"/>
</rdf:Description>Can we get rid of RDF?J LIU
