The SWORD engine would serve for this purpose wonderfully - but you would need to have someone who was willing to tackle designing a protocol, etc. I'm not sure that there is one at the moment, but it seems that an adaptation of OSIS would be perfect, since it is already well-known and the XML structure should make a good platform-independent transport mechanism.
However you've left out a lot of details: would this be for internal (to your organization) use or not? What sort of license would you want the software to operate under? There are a handful that are compatible with SWORD, but I don't know off-hand exactly which those are. What platform does the server need to operate on? Are you running it on your aging, home Windows XP machine; is it going to be on some multi-application LAMP server out on the web; does it need to be runnable from a Macintosh system? Do you want it written in Java or C/C++? What sort of system is this going into? That also might help prospective developers decide if they think this would be worth their energy.
