Hi Kake,
In a nutshell I'd like to use the OG sites as a source of geodata for items reviewed at Revyu.com.
You may have picked up from previous posts on this list that I'm working on Revyu.com [1] at the moment. People can use the site to review any things they want, some of which will be SpatialThings that could sensibly use lat/lon data (pubs, restaurants, museums). However, to keep the Revyu.com interface generic and avoid it becoming some big silo (which would not be very semantic web-by), I'm keen to piggy back on other data sources for this info, rather than add a "add lat/lon to this thing" form into Revyu.
Open Guides could be an ideal source (issues of global coverage aside), as long as I can come up with a reasonable heuristic for matching reviewed things in Revyu with their entry in a Guide. Assuming I can, then I can retrieve the lat/lon data from the OG entry RDF, show a nice Gmap on the relevant Revyu page, and also add owl:sameAs statements to the Revyu RDF output linking Revyu entries with OG entries. This would add nicely to the Linking Open Data project at [2].
Will let you know when/how it goes. Comments welcomed :)
Tom.

FWIW I'm planning to make use of the OG geodata in RDF sometime pretty soon, but will only need as much precision as the Guides need, i.e. just enough to show a flag in *roughly* the right location on a Gmap. Not sure if this has any bearing on the situation.
Ooh, cool. What are you going to be doing with it?
