What is the difference between the above and foaf:lit a rdf:Property . Well, we can dereference it and /not/ find out what it means. This is possible to say. The problem is that there is no way on earth that anyone can come to an agreement as to what kind of property foaf:lit is. Everyone can make up defend their choice. And where there is no right or wrong, there is no meaning. Hence, the above is undecidable. And therefore, URIs as subjects should be disallowed... ;) > Well we can dereference foaf:knows to find out what it means.
