[Buildingdata] Meta Sites

Hi guys. I've got a minor but interesting issue with our sites:

Our Buildings & Estates planon system regards these as 3 sites:

http://data.southampton.ac.uk/site/64.html

http://data.southampton.ac.uk/site/63.html

But almost everyone just refers to them as "Wessex Lane". I've another 
site which is the "Glen Eyre Complex" which is also 3 or 4 sites 
according to the Planon DB.

I'm thinking of making a meta-site to contain these 3 sites, eg. 
http://data.southampton.ac.uk/site/wessexlane.html and say that these 3 
sites are within it. I think that's helpful for doing things like route 
planning. We want to show bike routes between major sites but the route 
should start/end at wessex lane, not any specific part of it.

I also have
http://data.southampton.ac.uk/building/12.html
http://data.southampton.ac.uk/building/14.html
http://data.southampton.ac.uk/building/10.html

which are parts of the library and some systems still refer to them, 
although they are now usually treated as a single building:
http://data.southampton.ac.uk/building/36.html

Again; should I just say the first 3 are within b36?
(alternately I could use the dublin core 'part of' relation, but we've 
used sr:within elsewhere)

Any ideas or advice?
