Hey.
It seems like annotea could be used for this. It specifies a way of
creating, maintianing and retrieveing meta data comments (annotations)
about anything with a URI.
No matter how you model it, the very biggest thing would be to have a way
for people to very easily add to meta data about how accurate a given
article is because relying on the publisher of the article to do this for
you has obvious flaws.
Aggregating and browsing applications would need to incorporate this data
in a meaningful way. But to my mind the usability and convenience of the
mechanism by which "accuracy" meta data gets created and reviewed by an
activew audience is far more critical.
