Did you already take a look at the SOAP serialization
format (SOAP spec, chapter five, http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP/)?
If your data is object oriented, this may be an
approach more suitable than RDF. Since RDF is more
property centric than object oriented,
mapping object definitions to an RDF schema
is a bit difficult.
