The following ChangeSet describes a change the the description of the resource identified by http://example.com/res#thing
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"

The ChangeSet describes the removal of a single statement, the dc:title of the resource:
<http://example.com/res#thing> <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/> "Original Title" .
And the subsequent addition of another statement with a new value for dc:title:
<http://example.com/res#thing> <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/> "New Title" .
So, given the following description of the resource:
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">
<rdf:Description rdf:about="http://example.com/res#thing"/>
<dc:title>Original Title</dc:title>
<dc:description>A short description of this resource</dc:description>
</rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>
Application of the ChangeSet would result in the following:
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">
<rdf:Description rdf:about="http://example.com/res#thing"/>
<dc:title>New Title</dc:title>
<dc:description>A short description of this resource</dc:description>
