The big strengh of the "RDF model" on simple XML is that it's made for 
lazy people like me. I will try to demonstrate it soon. I will write a 
tutorial about the QA Matrix [1] which is managed in n3.

Before I was managing it in XML. It was really a pain to edit, because 
I add to respect the structure (hierarchical organization of data) and 
I had to add data which were already existing elsewhere.

Since the matrix is in RDF/n3.
	- I spend less time for the management
	- It's easier to add things.

"RDF model" saves me times. It's the huge benefit of it.
