The difference between foaf:img and foaf:depiction is that 
foaf:depiction (owl:Thing) has a broader domain than foaf:img 
(foaf:Person), i.e., the subject of an RDF statement that utilises one 
of these properties as predicate has at least the type that is defined 
via the domain of the property definition.

Yep, I guess, this was more or less only a re-naming issues, i.e., a 
simple replacement is enough here.

AFAIK, there is no such universal foaf:Class. I'm aware of rdfs:Class 
and owl:Class. Maybe this is a typo error.

This was already clarified via Keith's response.

There exist no such property foaf:webpage. There only is foaf:page [1]. 
Generally, I think that both properties are well defined in their usage, 
or? (they are not really controversial to each other)

Is to relate an agent's weblog.

foaf:Project shouldn't be utilised in an RDF statement that has 
foaf:weblog as predicate, since this universal is disjoint to 
foaf:Person and foaf:Document.

Both are marked as 'archaic', please utilise foaf:familyName instead.

My problem with the modelling of the CV vocabulary is that one relates 
the skills, experiences etc. one has to the CV resource. From my point 
of view, they should be directly related to the foaf:Person resource. I 
tried to realise this modelling with the help of the Cognitive 
Characteristics Ontology [2].
An application that utilises the CV vocabulary (AFAIK) is, e.g., 
Foafpress [3].
