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!

tools and processes that make it easier for cities to adopt these standards would probably help the situation
