/**
 * Allow modules to define RDF mappings for field bundles.
 *
 * Modules defining their own field bundles can specify which RDF semantics
 * should be used to annotate these bundles. These mappings are then used for
 * automatic RDFa output in the HTML code.
 *
 * @return
 *   A list of mapping structures, where each mapping is an associative array:
 *   - type: The name of an entity type (e.g., 'node', 'comment', and so on.)
 *   - bundle: The name of the bundle (e.g., 'page', 'blog', or
 *     RDF_DEFAULT_BUNDLE for default mappings.)
 *   - mapping: The mapping structure which applies to the entity type and
 *     bundle. A mapping structure is an array with keys corresponding to
 *     existing field instances in the bundle. Each field is then described in
 *     terms of the RDF mapping:
 *     - predicates: An array of RDF predicates which describe the relation
 *       between the bundle (RDF subject) and the value of the field (RDF
 *       object). This value is either some text, another bundle, or a URI in
 *       general.
 *     - datatype: Is used along with 'callback' to format data so that it is
 *       readable by machines. A typical example is a date which can be written
 *       in many different formats but should be translated into a uniform
 *       format for machine consumption.
 *     - callback: A function name to invoke for 'datatype'.
 *     - type: A string used to determine the type of RDFa markup which will be
 *       used in the final HTML output, depending on whether the RDF object is a
 *       literal text or another RDF resource.
 *     - rdftype: A special property used to define the type of the instance.
 *       Its value should be an array of RDF classes.
