I don't know if any of these will meet your needs, but here's what I find
from our software listing:

Harvest <http://www.arco.de/~kj/harvest/>

Harvest is a system to collect information and make them searchable using a
user friendly web interface.  Harvest can collect information on inter- and
intranet using http, ftp, nntp as well as local files like data on
harddisk, CDROM and files on file servers. Designed to manage information
in wide variety of formats, Harvest's development reflects the increasing
importance of HTML without omitting support for other formats. Current list
of supported formats in addition to HTML include dvi, ps, fulltext, mail,
man pages, news, troff, WordPerfect, C sources and many more. Adding
support for new format is easy due to Harvest's modular design.

Kaspaliste <http://site.voila.fr/janmueller/index.html>

Kaspaliste is a literature database which has the ability to connect
similar content, to form categories, to include full text or Web pages
(links are preserved, fulltext search), to generate BibTex entries, etc.

RefDB <http://refdb.sourceforge.net/>

RefDB is a reference database and bibliography tool for DocBook SGML/XML
documents. It allows users to share databases over a network. It is
lightweight and portable to basically all platforms with a decent C
compiler. And it's released under the GNU General Public License. This is
an attempt to provide most of the functionality of commercial packages like
Reference Manager or EndNote in a platform-independent tool, targeting
DocBook rather than word processors.
