You might want to take a look at what we (my group at MIT) did the

Sorry, this was meant to be
http://simile.mit.edu/conference/iswc2005/
That is cool, I just added my name. Is it only the base map and the
mapping api that is using Google. Is there an external data format or
database storing the data?
All the data is in RDF and it's stored in a triple store (we use Sesame,
Warning: LGPL) and presented with Velocity templates and full text
search powered by Lucene. The code is available at
http://simile.mit.edu/repository/semantic-bank/branches/conference/
and it's BSD-licensed.
I find it the most powerful to use a special view with faceted browsing
functionality, for example
http://tinyurl.com/889w4
the application is fully RESTful, no cookie or session is used (which is
why the URLs are so big) but makes it very handy for bookmarking or for
exporting. For example, the (undocumented) way to get the data out is to
change the command=browse into command=export as in
http://tinyurl.com/ahwek
which will give you the RDF formatted as RDF/XML.
If you want to know more, I'll be very happy to follow up privately or
