Some googles; I don't know how well they are suited (no RDF):

XMI may be verbose, UXF usable, and XTM cool.

discusion:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/xml-sig/1999-December/001781.html
http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200105/msg00695.html

XMI:

http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/xmi.html
http://cgi.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?ad/98-10-06

UXF

this could be usable:

http://www.yy.ics.keio.ac.jp/~suzuki/project/uxf/
"(UML eXchange Format) is a XML-based model interchange format for UML 
(Unified Modeling Language), which is a standard software modeling 
language by Object Management Group. UXF is a simple and well-structured 
format to encode, publish, access and exchange UML models, and allows 
UML to be highly interoperable.

http://www.yy.ics.keio.ac.jp/~suzuki/project/uxf/ver2/samples/polygon.xml
  <Class>
<Name>Polygon</Name>
<IsAbstract>true</IsAbstract>
<Attribute>
<Name>points</Name>
<Type>Point</Type>
<Visibility>private</Visibility>
</Attribute>
...

And finally, here are XTM: extensible topicmaps:
http://www.topicmaps.org/xtm/1.0/

  <!-- begin: the superclass-subclass relationship -->

<topic id="superclass-subclass">
<subjectIdentity>
<subjectIndicatorRef xlink:href="index.html#psi-superclass-subclass"/>
<subjectIndicatorRef xlink:href="#psi-superclass-subclass-description"/>
</subjectIdentity>
<baseName><scope><topicRef xlink:href="language.xtm#en"/></scope>
<baseNameString>superclass-subclass relationship</baseNameString>
</baseName>
<occurrence>
<resourceData id="psi-superclass-subclass-description">
Superclass-subclass relationship: The core concept of
           superclass-subclass; the class of association that represents
