Could it form another level of context that could help in accessing collections of records that have in large part been determined by machinery of government changes that have followed-on from elections?

I have an archive of data I assembled for my PhD and would like to deposit it somewhere so that other people could use it for their own research, and check my findings if they needed to. It would be good to be able to do meta searches of this sort of archive - like medical meta-analyses, but social science data can be so diverse that this would be hard under traditional database systems. However perhaps it might be possible using semantic web techniques? I would love to chat or come to your session. I am interested in this too.
