Hi Vladimir!

How about just declaring the place types as rdfs:subClassOf 
skos:Concept, and then use rdf:type to represent the relation between 
places and place types?

I've done similar things with other vocabularies.

Though the fact that the place types are also AAT concepts might be a 
problem here, because then the place types must be both skos:Concept and 
owl:Class instances at the same time. This gets us into "crossing the 
streams" territory...
