If you read FOAF closely, it says that the "Core FOAF" properties "describe characteristics of people and social groups". These include name, title, primaryTopic etc.
So, you would expect to only use these in relation to describing people.
But the individual definitions of these properties go further:
primary topic - The primary topic of some page or document
This is why FOAF (and many other vocabs), as Karen says, leads to "difficulty of understanding exactly what a metadata term means"
