Sorry I wasn't clear, I was claiming RDF's problem as a general purpose model is that it assumes what you have and want to pass around is a graph. Most normal people do not have that requirement they are happy with plain old JSON and links between their resources.. so RDF carries a whole load of spec-bloating baggage around with it that a lot of people don't want.
