there are some evolving standards
around something called "Data Packages": http://frictionlessdata.io/data-packages/
there are lots of interesting convos happening in the associated github issue queue, so i would definitely recommend subscribing to it with GitHub's "Watch" feature!
https://github.com/frictionlessdata/specs/issues
here is a sample of one way to use the datapackage standard: https://github.com/t0ronto-ca/dataset-toronto-elected-officials
tools and processes that make it easier for cities to adopt these standards would probably help the situation
