Write RDF/XML from a list of triples

This module writes an RDF/XML document from a list of triples of the format rdf(Subject, Predicate, Object). It is primarily intended for communicating computed RDF model fragments to external programs using RDF/XML.

When used from the HTTP library, use the following code:

reply_graph(RDF) :-
        format('Content-type: application/rdf+xml; charset=UTF-8~n~n'),
        rdf_write_xml(current_output, RDF).

NOTE: the to_be_described/1 trick ensures entity rewrite in resources that start with 'http://t-d-b.org?'. This is a of a hack to save the artchive data in the MultimediaN project. We should use a more general mechanism.
