  How about Tellico or GCStar, which support custom collections? http://tellico-project.org/ http://tellico-project.org/ http://www.gcstar.org/ http://www.gcstar.org/ For metadata indexing of physically distributed storage (like hard disks), see http://git-annex.branchable.com/ http://git-annex.branchable.com/ . Git-annex could likely be integrated with metadata from GCstar or Tellico.

        You're a legend! This looks almost exactly like what I had in mind. It really bugs me that these didn't show up anywhere near the top in my searches (and I used quite a few terms). How do you know about these?

Then a couple of software reviews used the term "collection management". http://alternativeto.net http://alternativeto.net was helpful, after I found one of the apps. Not really sure how I found them :)

            Just discovered alternativeto.net :) Very useful! Having a bit of trouble getting data crow to work headless (even though it should 'just work'). Might end up delving into code after all :p
