This is a potted version of what the rdfxml serializer produced:

<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#">
  <rdf:Description rdf:nodeID="r1120484797r341954">
   <ns0:type xmlns:ns0="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#" 
rdf:resource="chemschema.rdfs#Calculated"/>
  </rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>

In the program I asked it to add a triple of the form:

<bnode> <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#type> 
<http://green.chem.soton.ac.uk/rdf/chemschema.rdfs#Calculated>

Predicates maintain their namespaces correctly, but resources do not. In 
this case http://green.chem.soton.ac.uk/rdf/ has been cut off and not 
re-inserted in the ns0="http:...." form.

RE: Dave's mention of RDFXML-abbrev, I didn't even know that existed. Is 
it any good or mega-beta?
