How to develop a common schema for data exchange

I'm
working with humanitarian organizations that do a lot of data collection in the
field.  There is a tremendous amount of redundancy of data collection
(surveys etc.) across different organizations and units because they don't have
common data standards.  I would like to help them create a shared schema
for common data such as nutrition and health data.  I would be grateful if
anyone has any advice or can direct me to resources that describe how to go
about this.  Intuitively I imagine that there is a process whereby a user
group is formed to develop an agreed set of schema definitions for the
data.  Some advice on how to design these schema definitions would be
great.  <o:p></o:p>
