We could develop an Extension that could use metadata standard as DublinCore (or others).
Currently we have http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OAIRepository installed. Does domebody know what it does?
It is used for searching and mirroring, but it is password protected. It does provide dublin core, and I have documented what it provides.

There is also dublin core RDF functionality in the core product, but it is disabled on wikimedia.

e.g.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Hastings?action=dublincore
Wikisource and Commons need the object (book, photo) to be described rather than the wiki page to be described.
I have started a new proposal for this.
