You are right, of course, I would refer to myself as
http://fwwebdev.com/foaf/BruceWhealtonJr/foaf.rdf#me.  That's what I
intended to say and what I meant.
Now the other two questions deal with importing other vocabularies.  I
could create a vocabulary called PersonalProfile
and it would import foaf, bio, rel, vcard, rdf-resume, etc.  I could
name it foaf.rdf or something different.  Or I could use part of the
information in my combined ontology to create a specific foaf.rdf
file.  I'm just not sure how to create the top level element in TBC as
something besides thing.
