Then there exist no non-reserved vocabularies in RDF. 

More specifically, the interpretative function IS in the RDF Model
Theory is redundant in all cases, if URIs are neither context dependent
nor ambiguous referents. There's no need for a Tarskian semantics to
determine the truth or falsity of a statement with respect to a given
denotation, when there is only ever one denotation to be had. That's a
remarkable property.
