OpenAcademia
"The envisioned use case of this specification is the sharing of bibliographic data in a distributed (web-based) environment. In this setting, each researcher or organization independently maintains a set of bibliographic items that it wishes to make available for others (publish).
The primary task in such a scenario is the discovery of publications relevant to one's research interests. Retrieving bibliographic information, i.e. information relating to a particular publication, is a secondary task.
It is expected that each researcher or organization would primarily maintain information relating to their own publications, but this is not necessarily the case. Thus several researchers might have information about the same publication. This means that the aggregation (merging) of information from different sources needs to be supported." -- http://www.cs.vu.nl/~pmika/research/burst/BuRST.html
This appears to be a very data web like functionality applied to bibliographic information. We would like to do something like this for images, especially research images. A key requirement for this is being able to say something about the subject of an image - what does the image denote?
OpenAcademia is based on existing metadata standards: primarily Dublin Core, FOAF and the Semantic Web Research Community (SWRC) ontology (http://ontoware.org/projects/swrc/).
