Since you mentioned "NVD" also known as the National Vulnerability Database.  I think at some point the IETF will be helpful in creating a protocol to communicate with these content repositories.  Last I counted was 7 content repositories.
In no particular order and I am sure there are more out there.

-SecPod
-Novell
-NVD
-IT Security Database
-Debian 
-Altx-soft

-ln

> While we're all bantering about on security automation, there's another side to the story.  Are there any operational concerns we might address within a WG should one be formed?  For example, we have, in the United States, NVD hosting a repository of information.  CCE identifiers are moderated and assigned by an operational process.  As new enumerations are published and new types of content are conceived, it's easy to imagine the need for some operational standardization.
