The key here is that the information model is representation- independent. Whether we use binary, XML, YAML, or even Python pickles to physically express the information model, there is still a schema that defines the scope of what you can "say" in that model. Is this making any more sense?
I think so. For example, RDF* is an information model (more specifically a graph data model) which can be represented in various ways, be it RDF-XML or N-triples syntax.
