have a look at CMFEditions on svn.plone.org/collective . it is also 
published on plone.org site
we have publieshed an alpha release, and hope to fix the remaining bug 
over the summer, please feel free to contribute. On 
sourceforge.net/projects/collective you can find the 
"collective-versioning" which we use to discuss on subject and 
coordinate the effort.

nothing ready i think, but for a generic library that enables you to 
perform complex queries over a catalog google fro Dieter's AdvancedQuery 
product. Also, it is possible to implement ontologies in plone using 
Archetypes references and maybe using the Relations product (always from 
  Archetypes svn o)
