I've been interested in doing something like this, possibly bringing
in other representations of an electronic component such as SPICE
models and using something like OWL (Web Ontology Language) to relate
the various different representations of a component.

The idea is to make an extensible format for describing electronics
components;  The library wouldn't necessarily revolve around a
particular way of describing components (such as PCB .m4 part
libraries), but it would be possible (by design) to transform any
component contained in the library into a format required by gEDA.
