One possibility is Shae Erisson's "Fermat's Last Margin" (FLM) idea.
This is designed to enable people to annotate the PDFs of research
papers with their own notes, in an infinitely-expandable "margin",
shared with all other users of the FLM system.  It could just as
easily be applied to reference material as to research papers.

To be best of my knowledge FLM is still not fully implemented, but
I guess that could be speeded up if there were a real customer...
