Hi Darren,

Thanks for sending along this request. When I have a moment I will update the README to explain how the ld4l-foaf_rdf gem uses the technology you reference and what functionality it adds (which isn't much at all for the foaf ontology). The short answer, in case you are wondering, is that it allows me to hold foaf metadata in an object that can be referenced by other active triples model objects. In its current state, ld4l-foaf_rdf gem is trivial, but it sets the stage for future growth if we want to expand it.
