I noticed another problem which might effect all the geonames "about.rdf"
files, at least all those that I have looked at.

It causes consuming apps to choke on these files.

Using this as an example http://sws.geonames.org/4929772/about.rdf

<http://sws.geonames.org/4929772/about.rdf>Note in the lower RDF that
describes the "RDF document" itself  "
http://sws.geonames.org/4929772/about.rdf";

The following error exists:

<foaf:Document rdf:about="http://sws.geonames.org/4929772/about.rdf";>
  <foaf:primaryTopic rdf:about="http://sws.geonames.org/4929772/"/>
  <cc:license rdf:resource="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"/>
  <cc:attributionURL rdf:resource="http://sws.geonames.org/4929772/"/>
  <cc:attributionName rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string
">GeoNames</cc:attributionName>
  <dcterms:created rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#date
">2006-01-15</dcterms:created>
  <dcterms:modified rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#date
">2010-09-30</dcterms:modified>
</foaf:Document>

The rdf:about in red above should be changed to rdf:resource like below

<foaf:Document rdf:about="http://sws.geonames.org/4929772/about.rdf";>
  <foaf:primaryTopic rdf:resource="http://sws.geonames.org/4929772/"/>
  <cc:license rdf:resource="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"/>
  <cc:attributionURL rdf:resource="http://sws.geonames.org/4929772/"/>
  <cc:attributionName rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string
">GeoNames</cc:attributionName>
  <dcterms:created rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#date
">2006-01-15</dcterms:created>
  <dcterms:modified rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#date
">2010-09-30</dcterms:modified>
</foaf:Document>
