Yes, that's what you get. I believe that at the moment you only get RDF,
but there are plans to expand that to other formats. You can see this on
the site -- go to an individual property, and click on "get RDF" in the
lower right, e.g.
http://metadataregistry.org/schemaprop/show/id/3.html
gives you
