Jan, I would suggest to use the Tinkerpop RDF wrapper, then examine the resulting graph in neo4j, and se if raw traversals can find the relationships for you, After all, you can always drop down to the raw graph even while using the RDF implementation. That is one of the points of Neo4j dealing with raw graphs.
