In the quest for Open Standards it is important for businesses to know which communication standards are available between companies.

For instance if I want to know if a customer or vendor of our company can accept files of the type "Open Document Text (.odt)" I should be able to find out from their web site by bringing up a page such as http://www.somedomain.com/filetypes.html.

I want to foster the development of standards which would define the web page's file structure, file name, types of documents and protocols supported.

I could see this being a time saving venture which would allow IT departments to save allot of time in the future and allow the world to more quickly embrace  new technologies and to run queries of trading partners to see where common denominators and highest primes exist.

Technologies I'd like to know about trading partners:
XML
PGP encryption keys
OpenOffice2 support
PDF Readers
Linux Experience
OpenLDAP
iCal  Calendaring URLs
vCal
vcard
MS Office 97
WordPerfect
QuattroPro
X-Forms
Autocad 97
Autocad 2000
Autocad 2004
OpenDWG (Open Design Alliance)
EDI
If anybody is in a position to run with this idea, please feel free to do so.  I just want to see a way of finding where areas of willingness for advancement exist.
Thanks for your time!

Sincerely,
