I had a look at it a few years back to see if I could add support for it 
to cgkit, but at the time there has only be the specification but no 
library to read/write Collada files. The spec looked rather complex, so 
I didn't even try implementing it "just for fun".

I just had a look at the Collada site again and apparently there are two 
Open Source libraries now, but the first one (DOM) seems to be quite 
low-level and rather be a XML parser/generator and the second one 
(FCollada) which is supposed to be higher-level is "hidden" behind a web 
site where you have to register to get a look at it. I didn't bother 
doing so just to have a look at the API or the library's license...
