I dont know this rdf-redland library, but you are probably better off using 
either the official redland ruby bindings (see librdf.org) or ActiveRDF 
[1]. For the first, if I remember correctly, you need to synchronise the
model to the database using Redland::librdf_model_sync(model).

But I would definitely recommend you to look at ActiveRDF: it gives you 
object-oriented access (using domain terminology) to your RDF:

eyal = Person.find_by_firstname('eyal')
p eyal.age
eyal.knows.each { |friend| p friend.age }

 -eyal
