Rakshit, We have drawn up a set of rules and we've stuck to them so far. But we encountered one client who wanted us to play by their rules, and they used "The Consortium" standards. So now management is wondering whether we'd have easier implementations in the future if we changed our rules to match some sort of industry standard. But it would only make sense if there is an adopted standard.
What standards did you use? Did you make them up yourself? Or did you adapt them from some industry specification somewhere?

The key is that you draw set of rules and stick to it for both inbound and outbound communication.

We have a home-grown Java web service integrated with our custom Remedy incident management application. We use our own XML schema, data elements, data values, and transactions which are based on our own processes. This works fine now, but as we branch out with more partners we're considering adhering more closely to industry standards, if there are any. I've researched some info from The Consortium for Service Innovation but I'm not sure how well this has been adopted and I'm a little concerned that it still pushes the use of HTTP POST instead of web services. Has anyone gone down this road before? If so, do you have any suggestions? Success stories? Challenges? Thanks!
