It seems that what's really needed is a formalization of the uncertainty of scientific claims, which I'm not sure is even possible to implement fully. But it's perhaps possible to schematize the relevant information - a database of who did what experiment, what the current hypotheses are, and which ones scientist believe the evidence favors, like a prediction market. Besides being a valuable tool for science, it would serve as a way of assigning appropriate levels authority.
