Nifty.

I would like to move it to a hibernate backend (such as is being done for geoserver) in order to store more information; and more connected information; to assist people during their work. As an example I would love to store all the styles associated with a dataset in the catalog and allow people to browse through them (as a series of "predefined" styles).

Lol really?
Well other than uDig failing to advertise that you can collaborate with the project this sounds really amazing!
I was mostly mentioning hibernate because a) geoserver already had a take on the problem b) I want to have the catalog scale up and track thousands of datasets and styles etc...
The down side is that "etc..." since there is lots of rich content associated with a data set that would be beneficial - style being the most important, but also the description information, perhaps a history of use etc...
So what you describe is way more ambitious then I had figured I could do on volunteer time.
Indeed it sounds amazing.
