I'd recommend <http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/> for the occurrence type
(geo:lat, geo:long, where geo is bound to
<http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos#>).

Although the the vocabulary defines also a combined property
(geo:lat_long), it's usage is not recommended (by the creators of the
voc.).

I already use the geo:lat / geo:long properties as occurrence types
in RDF to Topic Maps mappings.

Best regards,
Lars
