 * Class to work with rdf Lists
 * A list is a way to store an ORDERED array in RDF (so in the graph with triples)
 * For example:
 * person.location = ["Portugal","Bali"]
 * If the order of these 2 items matters then it can be stored as a list in the graph like this:
 * _:somePerson _:location _:list1
 * _:list1 rdf:first "Portugal"
 * _:list1 rdf:rest _:list2 <-- continuation of the list can be found here
 * _:list2 rdf:first "Bali"
 * _:list2 rdf:rest rdf:nil <-- end of the list
