My initial plan was to use ccRdf. However, for this initial experiment,
my time was limited, and so was the documentation for the libraries you
mention. Thus I choose to stay with what I know, that is the ElementTree
library.

I'll probably go over to using ccRdf at some point, unless it turns out
to make the program significantly slower. (Which seems possible, as
ElementTree is really fast.)

In any case, thanks for your comments.
