This is one of the things we are trying to do. This does not need a "standardization" but rather a framework on which to develop, collect, information and to share them. Sharing forms is one simple way, sharing the structure on which a form should be "built" to allow sharing and comparison is another necessity. A good simple example is the ICD10 Procedure Coding System. The system has developed a structure to facilitate coding which makes a way a computer will "understand". This may look "strange" initially but once learnt makes for a less verbose, simple structured way of collecting data. What do you think?
