Ya, when I wrote this class it was to implement a tree algorithm (i.e. adding
seq, nodes and node attributes). That is the way the class if focused. There
is obviously more to rdf that that, and we need to work on rdf.js to make it an
easy to use interface that can manipulate any rdf and handle all rdf
information.
I appologize for not giving you more to go on. You'll probably have to grab
the datasource directly (that's why I made an accessor to it) and manipulate
the datasource the old fasioned way :)
