A relational database maps everything to unordered relationships. Representing or manipulating a tree like structure is complex. Just representing an ordered list is complex. In XML and JSON everything is ordered and querying it as relational database is cumbersum. Graph databases and OO databases are somewhere in the middle.
But as I wanted to point out, which data models are used, is not the major obstacle to the semantic web. It is these other problems that are not addressed.
