I suppose at this point it would be advisable to add the Topic type (and e.g. name alongside skos:prefLabel) to published data, to ensure that schema.org consumers in general (e.g. the search engines) can make sense of it? (Of course, it would be great if, over time, consumers would also make use of the OWL equivalencies to other schemas' classes and properties in general, in order to leverage existing data as is.)
