        subj - optional subject or origin of the relationship, an IRI coded as a unicode object. If omitted any subject will be matched.
        pred - optional predicate or type of the relationship, an IRI coded as a unicode object. If omitted any predicate will be matched.
        obj - optional object of the relationship, a boolean, floating point or unicode object. If omitted any object will be matched.
        attrs - optional attribute mapping of relationship metadata, i.e. {attrname1: attrval1, attrname2: attrval2}. If any attribute is specified, an exact match is made (i.e. the attribute name and value must match).
