In earlier versions of tupelo, the stored type was managed and preserved by the system. This cause a lot of needless conversion and was removed in Tupelo 2.5. Unfortunately this also removed a way to control how the values are stored. There is no high-level way to specify this in Tupelo 2.5.

Task: Figure out high-level way to specify stored type (probably a ton more addProperty methods) so that something like this may be done:

addProperty(Resource predicate, String propertyName, Class javaTypeInBean, Class storedType)

E.g. addProperty(Dc.IDENTIFIER, "uri", String.class, URI.class)

The session should resurrect its machinery for doing conversions in those cases where there is a difference between stored and bean types. Tests should be included.
