I have added geographic modeling support to our ontology development tool [1]. This uses the W3C geo namespace but can be configured to use other lat/long properties as well. In the absence of a "standard" for radius-like information to determine zooming, I had to introduce an optional property http://www.topbraidcomposer.org/owl/2006/07/tbcgeo.owl#zoom so that the map is moved to a suitable scaling if a user clicks on an entity. This is not meant as a suggestion on how to solve this issue, but just an intermediate work-around based on the Google zooming. I hope there will be a better solution in the near future.
