> With import i mean having the possibility to use the vocabulary itself on my forms, i would like to have categories and properties automatically created from these ones.

Forms and imported vocabularies don't share any commonalities or functionality. SMW is used under the premise of explicit type declarations. Of course you can create ad-hoc properties but those are defaulted to the page type and should be adjusted to a type it is ought to represent.

As for imported property references (e.g. foaf, dc), the following discussions should give you a quick overview of what is supported and how [0, 1].

> I just want to click "properties"for example and have vocabulary there.

I'm not sure I understand the comment.

> Whenever i go to my properties place, i find thousands of them with the yellow "warning" sign, which makes you know they have been deleted.

Again, I'm not sure I understand the comment/question. Do you mean by "properties place" the Special:Properties page? In case you mean Special:Properties, see Help:$smwgPropertyZeroCountDisplay.
