A blog post by Rod Page about a month ago has lots of interesting bits
of information regarding this:

Hi LOD'ers,
In the GeoSpecies data set I have a predicate isExpectedIn.
This is used to state that a given species is expected in a
geographical area.
Most of the time I use the geonames features as the object
So <http://linkeddata.uriburner.com/about/html/http/lod.geospecies.org/ses/mCcSp

I also do the reverse link so you can query what species are in what
geonames feature
<!-- Wisconsin State Link Out -->
<geospecies:State rdf:about="http://sws.geonames.org/5279468/";>
<geospecies:hasExpectationOf rdf:resource="http://lod.geospecies.org/ses/mCcSp
"/>
</geospecies:State>
At present this just get's me to county, and I have always wanted to
get something that was more uniform and global.
This would need URI's that are of a grid equally sized polygons that
are either equal in X, Y by either decimal degrees or meters.
I marked up this example, that is a one tenth decimal degree by 1
tenth decimal degree. It is rectangular in actual distance (meters/
kilometers)

What I am wondering is, is there already an existing set of URI's
that do the same sort of thing?
Has anyone been able to create valid RDFa that also works with
GoogleMaps?
Thanks!
