Open data movement is going toward the direction you are probably
thinking about. Open data is less known than open access, but I think,
if the vision of open data can be realized, it will bring huge benefits
including real time data publishing/sharing and data reuse, which will
accelerate science and technology development for sure.
Moreover, I happen to believe semantic web technology and ontology are
just the right tools for making open data truly powerful because open
data wrapped in semantic objects can be discovered, shared and reused
immediately as they become available on the web. The task force on
scientific publishing that I'm coordinating under w3c HCLS group is
developing SPE
(Self-Publishing of Experiment) ontology for this purpose. In
supporting this task, i.e. promoting open data on semantic web, I've
created a easy-to-use semantic web
publishing tool for researchers to open their data. I'm also
building a search
engine for researchers to search the open data.
Obviously, opening raw data on the web by researchers themselves
requires a shift in the mind set, and it's definitely the biggest
challenge. Good ideas that can encourage this shift are still to come.

Ontolog Journal maybe? Saw this http://pkp.sfu.ca/?q=ojs
since June??
that's an eternity in internet time. I feel compelled to make an open
criticism of how the journal reviews business sadly can sometimes slow
down and hinders scientific progress, rather than promoting it (making
the case for an open research group I guess)
