Applescript-ObjC doesn't seem to like that terminology, particularly the term "append".

ASObjC really is quite different. A datasource isn't a separate object you append to, but rather implemented as a series of handlers; the data itself is generally a list of records. But in many cases it's easier to use Cocoa bindings to populate a table, which means you don't need a datasource to begin with.

As I said, it's quite different...
