The RDF data model is fundamentally different from XML.
XML uses elements and attributes
RDF uses nodes and relations.
XML Schema talks about
data types
.
simple types
: int, string, boolean, date, time...
complex types
: Address Record, Person Record
RDF Schema provides inferences.
if X is the father of Y, X is the parent of Y.
