I want to say that I remember someone presenting on some sort of
modular courses to either be used as part of a library, museum or
comp sci curriculum to deal with digital archives. I want to say it was
IMLS funded.
Basically, it was so that faculty could pick & choose different courses
to use as a basic course on the topic.
I think I found the correct panel, but I'm not sure who it was who
presented on that particular topic. (I was sick & kept myself drugged
up on dayquil for that whole meeting)

Um ... I think this is the project, "Digital Library Curriculum Project!"
(NSF funded, not IMLS, though):

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they (yet) have anything on the
Semantic Web, but I think there's a lot of overlap with what you're
proposing.
