It's all RDF. OWL is expressed as RDF. I think perhaps you mean RDFS? If you have an OWL ontology then all of your classes are (at the deepest level) subclasses of owl:Thing. If you have created an RDFS vocabulary then all of your classes are subclasses of rdfs:Class. I'm guessing that you have created an OWL vocabulary if you have saved it with the owl extension.
