the three relationship types we currently have are:

HAS - contains one or more instances of...
HASA - contains exactly one instance of...
ISA - inherits from...

I haven't changed anything since the hackathon - only debugging.

There are no plans to add a new relationship type, but that isn't a
decision, it is merely a lack of need at the moment.  If there is a need
for a new type, we can certainly make one :-)  I say that flippantly
because we currently have no way of converting our RDF into XSD, so we
can do anything we like now at put off the pain of interpreting it until
later ;-)
