I would say we use the SWEO wiki and the page there to gather 
converters. If you can come up with a GRDDL for the page, perfect. Once 
you have it, put it onto InfoGathering, next to the line linking to 
ConverterToRdf

DOAP is ok for the start.
For the converters, we could enhance the aperture vocabulary, it already 
describes sources and some data. We already describe the Extractors 
using XML files, to say which extractor is responsible for which MIME-type.
MIME-types are a good thing to use to describe converters.
Aperture is a Java project gathering many rdf converters and allowing to 
use them in various RDF environments using RDF2go as wrapper. (I am one 
of the project admins).

Leo
