Ed and I also had a conversation about basically providing the graph
where you're defining the metadata about the person (or edition or
work, etc.) at the URI http://openlibrary.org/authors/OL31800A.rdf
since the URI is there and it's a perfectly reasonable spot for the
foaf:Document (after all you're just picking some arbitrary distinct
URI to place the administrative metadata - it's unlikely that URI
would be used for something other than transporting a graph describing
this particular resource).

So, to clarify a bit:
