Hm, the way I see it this is basically an RDF API. Thus, I am coming back to 
the "Model" part of the Soprano API [1] which I already proposed a while 
back.
It allows to add Statements which are triples (or quadruples actually but you 
could forget about that).
So please have a look and tell me if there are real differences because I 
don't think so. Except for details such as the Node class which only makes 
things more flexible.
We don't have to use exactly that but why not reuse it and only change it 
slightly to adjust it to our needs? After all, this is an API which is 
already in use.

Cheers,
Sebastian
