Another quick question:

Can a skos:Concept be an rdfs:Class at the same time? For example, if  
I have in my taxonomy a skos:Concept ex:Dog, then would it be OK to  
also make this an rdfs:Class and say something like this?

     :ginger a ex:Dog .

I suppose the answer is no because an RDFS class is something else  
than a taxonomic concept. I'm interested in an explanation that is a  
bit less hand-wavy than "it's something else."
