Hi Leen,

you can find a short example about sioc:topic in the SIOC Specs
(http://rdfs.org/sioc/spec/#term_topic ), i.e.:

:post_123 a sioc:Post ;
    sioc:topic <http://dmoz.org/Business/Publishing_and_Printing/> .
<http://dmoz.org/Business/Publishing_and_Printing/> rdfs:label
"Publishing and Printing" .

In this example a general categorisation system such as DMOZ is used,
but you can use SKOS in the same way.
"On specialised sites, which may have a very specific category
hierarchy, generic categorisation systems are not suitable... For
these sites, the category hierarchy may be defined in the SKOS
framework and mappings between these concepts and a common category
system may be created. "

Another example is provided by the SIOC-Mediawiki exporter.
If you export in RDF a Wikipedia page (e.g. the 'SIOC' page) you will
get something like this:
http://ws.sioc-project.org/mediawiki/mediawiki.php?wiki=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FSemantically-Interlinked_Online_Communities
There you will see that sioc:topic is used to link a sioct:WikiArticle
to a sioct:Category , e.g.:

<sioct:WikiArticle rdf:about="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Semantically-Interlinked_Online_Communities">
   <sioc:topic>
                <sioct:Category rdf:about="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Category:Semantic_Web">
                        <rdfs:seeAlso [...] />
                </sioct:Category>
   </sioc:topic>
   [...]
</sioct:WikiArticle>

And here it's important to note that sioct:Category is subclass of
skos:Concept.

Hope that helps.

Best,
Fabrizio
