Yes, I believe your RDF/XML is now well-formed. (Whew!)
I too had problems validating the RDF against the validator. I'm
going to blame it on the tool and not your file, but in the past I've
had pretty good results from it. [1] I also got the "no RDF
statement" message. Personally, I would ask for assistance from Eric
Miller who used to work for OCLC, went to W3C, and now works at a
company called Zepheira. Eric is/was one of the foremost leaders in
regards to the Semantic Web and RDF. [2] I think, but I'm not sure,
you mostly have RDF schema statements in your file, not RDF
statements. In other words, you have outlined what your flavor of RDF
is going to describe; your file does not describe a thing, and that
is why it does not validate. (Just a guess.)
[1] For example, I can validate just about all the documents in my
Alex Catalogue. Go to the Validator and then validate the following
RDF file:
