In RDF you cannot put attributes in properties. You could do it
creating a new subclass or xsd:string with the attributes you consider
convenient (E.G. a boolean "guessed"). Probably this would require
deeper changes into Tracker, because xsd:string is a basic datatype...

 It is even more confusing when you find movies you didn't even know
they exist in your movie library :) XBMC (my reference on this topic)
does a brilliant work guessing the movies and still it needs manual
input. Multiple resources won't help to classify a resource called
"hc-p01.avi".
