If you (as in, y'all, the collective you) make the database, I'll  
write the code.  If you can arrange for it to be populated with about  
50 top physics and biology journals, I think it's worth shipping.   
You're right that the database needs to be user-expandable, but I  
think it also needs a solid basis to start from.

Note that the triple needs to resolve to something machine-parseable,  
rather than human-readable HTML.  Many journals have a "download  
citation" link or so associated with article pages which would be  
useful for this.  XML preferred to bibtex since it tends to have fewer  
idiosynracies.
