Hello Birgit,
Have you spoken to Anna Clements at St.Andrews?
I am not sure if it is what you are looking for but we are involved in a project related to datasets and we drafted an xml metadata specification which is currently with EuroCRIS pending a final official version (hopefully due this summer).

Subject: Documentation standards for data
Hello
Have any of you come across a recognised standard for documenting data and the relationships between data? Effectively what we are looking for is for a method to document semantics so that when we are looking at the data again in, say , 10 years from now this data will mean something to us.
Many thanks
Birgit
