Totally take your point about the data. In the process of doing this we unearthed a few more rogue institutions, so Wilbert has been updating, so I’m sure he’s delighted you have a few more to add to his list:-) But unless we actually start playing with the data, we won’t find out these things.

Going down a dedicated KML template would certainly be my recommendation. The PROD site already renders the same data in different formats (HTML, RDF) so I it wouldn’t take much to add KML (perhaps a link of the query results page).

It’s also worthwhile remembering that linked data is well … only as good as the data. I’m sure Wilbert will chuck an AA roadmap at me if I mention this again, but not all the project lead institutions currently automatically generate a set of co-ordinates. For example, if I query the ‘open education’ strand you get 51 results and if I do the same query with institution locations I get 29 (This is particularly an issue with the OER strand because some of the leads were Subject Centres which aren’t recorded in the JISC Monitor Unit data. One of the serendipitous outputs of the OER Visualisation project is a list of unresolved locations which Wilbert can add).
