Didn't I provide this already? [1]. Here's the example code snippet that 
I just sent Marc and Paul, its uses the classes from the FOAF-a-Matic:

Model model = ModelFactory.createDefaultModel();
model.read("some-foaf.rdf", "");
PersonBeanFactory factory = new PersonBeanFactory(model);
Person person = factory.getPrimaryPerson();
...
System.out.println(person.getHomepage());

List friends = factory.getFriends();
for (Iterator iter = friends.iterator(); iter.hasNext(); )
{
   Person friend = (Person)iter.next();
   System.out.println(person.getFirstName() + " knows " + 
friend.getFirstName());
}

Like I said [1], it's not perfect, but the code is reasonably clear I 
think and there are even a few test cases. If I get time over the 
weekend I'll package it up separately.

Cheers,

L.
