I agree that the most typical use of skos:subject is to relate creative works and concepts. We decided early on to model the Wikipedia category system using SKOS, and I think it's a very good match. The only problem was: What property to use for indexing DBpedia resources into their respective categories? We couldn't find any indication in the SKOS documentation that skos:subject should be used *only* for creative works. I also asked on the SKOS list if this was okay, and the consensus seemed to be that it's a bit strange, but not illegal. So we went with skos:subject. Maybe there is a better choice? Do you have a suggestion for another, more appropriate property to use in place of skos:subject?
