Well you are wrong that an RDF document can't have a DTD. It can.
But then you are checking the XML-validity of the document, not the
RDF-validity. If the question is how to check an arbitrary RDF that using
a particular RDF-described "vocabulary" in the same way that you can check
HTML using the HTML DTD, you check the RDF document against its RDF
schema.
