Hi Michel,
this looks very similar. DataID is just a fancy name to pool efforts 
under it.

Here is a Gretchenfrage:   Do you have a list of URLs with existing 
HCLSDatasetDescriptions ?

If yes, could you submit this list here: 
https://github.com/dbpedia/dataId/blob/master/TheListOfDataIDUrlsOnTheWeb.txt
If we end up with a slightly different format (which I don't think will 
happen) we can write a small converter.
We are also looking for people to join the group and provide more client 
implementations, i.e. DataId to Jena Assembler or Virtuoso Load Scripts 
or LOD2 Debian packages.

All the best,
Sebastian
