So I was intending that the upcoming SKOS Core guide will have examples of how to use 'foaf:depiction' with a 'skos:Concept' as the subject of the statement. (Which obviously fits with a scenario in which 'foaf:depicts' is used with a 'skos:Concept' as the object of the statement, as part of a description of an image.) > You can do the inverse already, using skos:symbol or > something with a similar > name.

N.B. the idea behind 'skos:prefSymbol' and 'skos:altSymbol' is that these are used to point to *symbolic labels* for concepts ... which is a different thing from *depictions* of concepts (because a symbolic label may not necessarily depict the concept it represents).
