Isn't the featureClass + featureCode giving you this information already ?

<Feature rdf:about="http://sws.geonames.org/2950159/">
<name>Berlin</name>

  [...]

<featureClass rdf:resource="http://www.geonames.org/ontology#P"/>
<featureCode rdf:resource="http://www.geonames.org/ontology#P.PPLC"/>

[...]

</Feature>

"P.PPLC" is a little bit more obscure than "city", but all values for 
code and class are defined in the ontology and described in 
human-readable form at [1].
