Yes, you're right: RDF is positive, existential, has no universal 
quantification.     (01)

I agree.  But Skolem functions have N arguments, where N is the
number of universal quantifiers that include the existential
within their scope.  Since RDF has no universal quantifiers,
N would be zero.  Therefore, you would only have Skolem constants.    (05)
