Do you want to record versioning information, or stating possible 
shifts in meaning? I don't know the semantics of the dct properties. 
If they can be seen as subproperties of skosmap:mappingRelation [1] 
then you are doing the latter, else it is the former.

Of course recording only the versioning information is the simplest 
and makes less assumptions, but the mappings are more valuable. But 
probably anyone working with the two versions will assume there's a 
correspondance in meaning between ConceptV1 and ConceptV2 anyway.

Mark.
