from my point of view the currrent situation is still evolving and confused
at some points.
many people I know which use gegraphical data see them as linked, without
referring explicitly as linked data or RDF.
Moreover many times the problem is about how to relate resources inside the
linked data RDF context to binary resources for example, such as images,
pdf etc. A good example could be a PDF containing metadata which may be
linked to entities on dbpedia, and similar use cases...

It seems interesting (and it's probably already known here) the work on
linked data platform
http://www.w3.org/TR/ldp/#dfn-linked-data-platform-non-rdf-source

Maybe at a certain point it will emerge some default vocabulary to implicit
"map" types and properties for those results, maitaining RDF at an implicit
level, using existing vocabularies and namespaces for mediatypes for
example [1] [2], I don't know. However I agree there are strong correlation
for the jsonld context: for example the CSV on the web group is approaching
several practical use case in order to create a sort of "linked csv", which
might be of interest:
