If you extend SMIL¹, you get a bit of interop with other video engines (e.g. RealPlayer, HelixPlayer², Ambulant³) and a specification which has had some pretty thorough peer review (including patent safety). Inkscape did this with SVG with I believe good results. SMIL covers the animations; you'd have to extend it to include the catalogue info you've described above. Following is a brief example of SMIL animation.
