 Why not just declare fao:commonLabel and fao:scientificLabel as
sub-properties of skos:prefLabel?
 
 Something like:
 
 <rdf:Property
rdf:about="http://www.fao.org/aims/aos/agrovoc/commonLabel">
   <rdfs:subPropertyof
rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/2008/05/skos#prefLabel"/>
 </rdf:Property>
 
 <rdf:Property
rdf:about="http://www.fao.org/aims/aos/agrovoc/scientificLabel">
   <rdfs:subPropertyof
rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/2008/05/skos#prefLabel"/>
 </rdf:Property>
