Nice to see you mention MODS. I've been trying to promote its use within the free software personal bibliographic realm for the past year, as well as gently push MODS itself in a direction to better support these needs. I'm more interested in the z39.50 and SRW web services stuff, maybe hooked up to an XML DB (the new Berkeley DB XML has a Python inteface, which is what the Syncato weblog system is based on). There are a couple of people from the z39.50 community on the Open Office bib project dev list, and they've made an interesting argument for a unified local/remote query interface based on ZOOM and CQL. The OOoBib project, BTW, itself is planning to use MODS as its basic metadata standard. http://bibliographic.openoffice.org
