Industry standard for data structures

Its interesting to know for health care industry, standard is available - Health Level 7 - (HL7) is a set of popular healthcare standards that define many data structures used to specifye healthcare information, such as medical records, prescriptions, and patient discharges summaries.

This makes it possible to create web services those can be consumable by larger set of clients. I think for other domains such as insurance, standards need to be defined.
