A keyring is (at present) just a collection of packets. You may find definitions
of the packet structure in RFC 2440. Latest draft is at
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-openpgp-rfc2440bis-17.txt

You could also use the output of 'gpg --list-keys --with-colons'. An explanation
of its output format is in the documentation that comes with the source.
