I'm not sure I get the usefulness of skos:Concept in DBPedia. To get the list
of countries you can do
SELECT ?s WHERE {?s a dbo:Country}
If you do a SELECT ?s WHERE {?s a skos:Concept} you would get whatever someone
decided is a skos:Concept. In principle you could get all entities in the
database. To make it useful you'd have to make skos:Collections of all the
classes (i.e. dbo:Country) and then use skos:member to connect it all.
The skos:*Match predicates don't have domain/range properties, so they can be
used outside SKOS vocabularies without side-effects.

I also think this quite important.
What I would really like to see is certain conceptual things in dbpedia
is typed with skos:Concept. That gives me some assurance and encourages
me (and probably others) to use skos:*Match where appropriate instead of
slapping owl:sameAs.
For instance, resources that are of type dbo:Country, can we have
skos:Concept for these for starters? :)
