I have some working examples using Jena property path to emulate skos:broaderTransitive and narrowerTransitive in SPARQL queries here:
http://www.semanlink.net/sl/sparql

This is the sparql endpoint associated to a tool that I use for tagging, the tags being given an URI and organized in a SKOS like graph (it uses its own properties internally, but can be queried using the SKOS ones)

So you can search for "Archeology" and "Africa", and find documents tagged with "Tutankhamun", or documents tagged with "Rockart" and "Niger".

Note that, in this implementation,
:TagX skos:broaderTransitive :TagX.
This allows for SPARQL queries that are easier to write when searching documents

Best regards,

fps
