[Metadatalibrarians] Controlled vocabularies for electronic resources

Hi everybody,
I was wondering if anybody knows of a controlled vocabulary (or
vocabularies) of terms to describe electronic resources (such as A&I
databases, full text databases, e-journal archives, e-book
collections, etc.) and the contents therein (tables of contents, full
text, abstracts, etc.)?
I've looked through the DLF ERMI documents and trolled through the
ONIX SOH schema but haven't found much. OCLC's UHF has *some*, but it
doesn't seem particularly comprehensive.
Does anybody know how the ERM systems define these things?
If there are multiple places where these things are found, that's
fine. I'm trying to build an RDF vocabulary (which I can pretty much
bet doesn't already exist), so any prior art to help guide it would be
most welcome.
Thanks,
-Ross.
