Mmm, Blender had a lot of problems having to reverse FBX from autodesk, which AFAIK is or was a de-facto standard. About open standards, I kinda hate xml, so I didn't like Collada much. I'm looking forward for knowing more about glTF[1]. Thankfully Blender 2.8 had the official add-on from the beginning.

glTF was introduced by Khronos for WebGL, then thanks to Microsoft glTF 2.0 was born and became API agnostic.

Khronos YouTube channel has lots of talks on the format.
