In case you don't know, there's the geonames.org ontology, dealing also with more that 6M places (lat / long + various infos as sub-places, wikipedia links ...), fetched from various sources [1] http://www.geonames.org/ontology/ They also offer a webservice to get RDF description of such places [2].
