[Buildingdata] outliers

So I've got a situation. On our main campus, the database lists two 
buildings as part of that site, although they are quite a way off the 
main site and really screw up any automatic map renderings as they cause 
the important part to shrink when scaled-to-fit.

The ideal solution is to have better data, but I am not allowed to edit 
what estates send me, although I can augment it.

I currently remove them with an awful hack in the code, but what I'm 
thinking is creating a relationship between a thing and seomthing it's 
listed as having within, but should not be included on the default map. eg.

<http://id.southampton.ac.uk/site/1> hasOutlier 
<http://id.southampton.ac.uk/building/1580> .

Any thoughts?
