Nigam,
Sorry for the delay in responding...
To answer your question on how to build Collections of relations,
all you need to do in order to add members to a Collection is declare:
add { Nigams_relations hs:member :binds_to_promoter }
That sets the relation : binds_to_promoter to be a member of the Collection "Nigams_relations"
Take a look at the chemistryCanvas.ad file in BioDash and look at the ":sampleChemicalRelations" Collection definition...
The basic tutorial documentation fro Haystack can be found at: http://haystack.lcs.mit.edu/documentation.html
for developers : http://haystack.lcs.mit.edu/developers/index.html
Hope this helps,
Eric
