In the diagram the WebId Profile is publicly accessible. It can point to another resource that is access controlled, and returns different representations given the WebID of the user accessing it. Think Facebook but with WebID. 

The http://www.w3.org/wiki/WebAccessControl ontology could be used to make the access control restrictions machine readable, but that is not needed to get going. 

The http://www.w3.org/community/rww/ may be the w3c community to discuss that in more detail.
