The Fresnel RDF vocabulary was designed to let you specify this sort of things. It lets you specify different “lenses” that apply to specific types of RDF resources (e.g. those that are instances of a given class, or those that match a particular SPARQL query) and then gives the RDF browse that applies a lens to a resource indications about which properties should be displayed, in what order, what properties can be used as fallbacks for others, etc. Plus some high-level indication about how property values should be formatted.
