In the CONTACT voc [1] there's a class contact:SocialEntity, which is a superclass of contact:Person (and since foaf:Person is defined as a subclass of contact:Person [2], contact:SocialEntity is a superclass also of foaf:Person). Do you think this can be re-used for the above purpose? About foaf:Group, do you think it makes sense to define a subclass foaf:SocialGroup?
