I think both approaches are a little too XML-centric; fine for a few

Agreed. The thing with RDF is that there are so many query
languages to
choose from :)

Of course, the best bet would likely be to go with SPARQL[1], the RDF
Query Language defined by the W3C RDF Data Access Working Group
(DAWG)[2].
The DAWG produces specifications for both the query language and a
protocol to issue queries and receive results (either as an RDF
graph or
as an XML representation of a result set).

some interested in learning more about SPARQL.
