Ok.  Both you and Uche make the same point: UML 
is an object modeling methodology.  I agree that 
XML documents are not object-oriented programs.  I know we've 
been round this thread before, but I wanted to 
check the expert opinions.  Berners-Lee comments 
in the SciAm article that a universal system 
is needed.   

So what do we have for concept modeling above the 
level of RDF or Topic Maps?   Or is it the case 
one has to commit to one of these?

UML may be abstract, but it has roots in modeling methodologies I don't
find to be a good fit for XML.  XML documents aren't object-oriented
programs, whatever some people might think.
