Dan > http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/Bristol/ shows a > topic from open directory.

As an on'n off ODP editor [1] I had proposed internally to have a look at integration of ODP in the SW framework. Not with a great feedback, actually. Remember that RDF dump of dmoz uses an old RDF format. > And we can doubtless find some RDF representation of Bristol as > a member of a class "City", with location info, population, etc... > > My hypothesis is that a new property in SKOS, skos:conceptualizes, > could be used to relate bristol-the-skos-concept to > bristol-the-thing-in-the-world. ... looks to me indeed very close to the notion of "subjet indicator".
