Hello Roberto +1 for this. This anomaly has been pointed at again and again. If DBpedia wants to keep up being the showroom of linked data good (best?) practices, it should at least abide by standard vocabularies. Switching from skos:subject to dcterms:subject does not seem so difficult a task, for DBpedia as well as for applications consuming the data.
