The RDF representation of wikibase entities is based on the wikibase ontology and data type vocabulary. We need to spec out the URIs for these, and come up with a way to resolve these URIs to useful machine readable definitions as well as human readable documentation.

Most of this has been implemented according to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Notes/URI_scheme
Most importantly, https://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q12345 generates a redirect to https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q12345.rdf, based on the Accept header.
The URI for the ontology itself is specified, but not deployed yet, see Bug 47656.
The one open issue was just resolved in a discussion with Denny: URIs for data types should be handled like URIs for entities, Special:EntityData should return information about data types using pseudo-entity-ID: Special:EntityData/DataType/time(.rdf) would return information about the time data-type, so the respective URI would be https://www.wikidata.org/entity/DataType/time(.rdf)
