Hi. (responding with more feedback as I have taken time to dig the debian-med archives)
If I get it right, you intend to match bibliographic references and software projects / packages ? I'd very much suggest adopting a Semantic Web perspective in a way to provide such links as RDF descriptions that can use ontologies used already by other applications, hence contributing to LinkedData [0] (maybe through microformats embedded as RDFa in the current 'web sentinels' or as specific RDF feeds. For an example of such application, see : http://www.connotea.org/rss/search?q=SAMtools which mixes RSS 1.0 with other ontologies (and exactly the same example you provided more or less). Here, you may then link DOAP [1] with existing bibliographic ontologies like PRISM. This of course could be provided from UDD also if UDD was to participate more to the Semantic Web as I proposed in http://lists.debian.org/debian-qa/2009/02/msg00016.html and further discussions.
