I rather lost track of this but I looked around again and there were a
couple of interesting things I missed.

The first is the work-of-art microformat:

http://microformats.org/wiki/work-of-art

I'm *really* not sure about basing it on the "citation" microformat, but
there's lots of interesting research there.

The second is LIDO, an artifact description XML format which supersedes
Getty's CDWA Lite:

And Europeana are still fighting the good fight for free data:
