Place is an important point of access. There is some interesting work being one on mapping information.Geo Tags for HTML Resource Discovery has 3 lines to place in the HEAD section of an (X)HTML document related to place, Lat/Long. the 2 letter country code, and the place name. Simple to use. There is a Geo Tag Generator there to make it even easier. There is a world map to locate resources on the site.The GeoURL ICBM Address Server Here the information is even simpler, just 2 lines. Lat./Long. and resource title are the only fields. There is a database at the site that will spider your site and blink a dot on the world map when your site is updated. You can search the database to see other resources in your physical neighborhood.DCMI Point Encoding Scheme

We introduce DCMI Point for identifying a point in space using its geographic coordinates. Components of the value correspond to the location coordinates in north and east directions, plus optionally elevation, and also allow the coordinate system and units to be specified, and a name if desired. We describe a method for encoding DCMI Point in a text-string, as a profile of DCSV. This notation is intended for recording the value of the DCES element Coverage, particularly when using HTML meta elements. We also show an alternative encoding for DCMI Point using XML.Blogmapper is a tool, still in development it seems, that will generate a map from a 'blog.Now there is RDFMapper (seen on the Semantic Blogging Demonstrator)
RDFMapper is a web service that searches an RDF file for resources with geographic locations, and returns a map overlayed with dots representing located resources. Clicking on a dot displays a web page representing the clicked resource. Arbitrary images can be treated as maps, so the service can be used for any kind of image annotation. The parameters to the web service specify what RDF file is to be mapped, what basemap (eg of San Francisco or the world) is to appear in the background, how to extract the relevant data from an RDF resource for mapping, and how to generate the web page describing the resource. Geographic data may be expressed in several ways, including the RDFIG Geo vocabulary, and the combined use of the Dublin Core and RDFGeom2d vocabularies.
