GNU.RDF is open enough to accept data from those sources.

There will be a standard, but it can be extended.

I fear that's true. A good sign is the languages used. C is the top language,
not LISP. C is pretty strict and you can't really do new things with it because
it's too low level. LISP is a hugely flexible language, but few use it (or have
the guts to try to learn it).

Introspect, extract into RDF, publish on an RDF server and make the standard
project metadata link to it.

Hmm, I know of a tool that makes it possible :-).
