I figured we already discussed that. The idea we had was to use
nao:prefSymbol and nao:Symbol. To that end I even improved the
documentation of the two[1].
There are basically 2 ways to do this (in general, for your case it will
probably always be the second one):
1. Use a freedesktop icon via nao:FreedesktopIcon and nao:iconName
2. Use double-typing by adding type nao:Symbol to a nfo:RasterImage
which is stored on disk (nfo:FileDataObject) or on the web
(nfo:RemoteDataObject or the upcoming nfo:WebResource[2]).

IMHO use pimo:groundingOccurrence vs. pimo:occurrence. But maybe Leo can
shed some more light here since he created PIMO.
