hi seth,
your class description above says that any instance of Foo will
have at least one dc:subject value "foo". that's the other way round
and not what you intended, I guess (i.e. there still can be non-Foo 
individuals with a dc:subject of "foo"). Euler could (if owl stuff is
supported) infer class membership if Foo was described as a complete
class via an owl:equivalentClass construct:

<owl:Class rdf:ID="Foo">
   <owl:equivalentClass>
      <owl:Restriction>
         <owl:onProperty rdf:resource="&dc;subject"/>
         <owl:hasValue rdf:datatype="&xsd;string">foo</owl:hasValue>
      </owl:Restriction>
   </owl:equivalentClass>
</owl:Class>
