That is quite an arbitrary query to try and satisfy. Are you trying
to cover different domains or a single domain? Communities of
organizations may come up with conventions for members to use, but it
would require uptake, then, by those members to great a corpus of
documents using the common vocabulary.
I can offer the following regarding international standardization,
which comes to mind when you cite the organizations you cited.
The NISO STS (Standards Tag Set) is the evolution of the ISO STS use
of the JATS vocabulary both for metadata and for content. A number of
SDOs (Standards Development Organizations) are using NISO.
https://www.niso-sts.org/
I'm involved with the http://SetareSolutions.com startup that is
servicing the SDOs who need PDF and HTML renderings of the ISO
standards marked up using STS. We are seeing STS now from ISO
national bodies that also are publishing their own national
documents, not just those from ISO. This trend should result in
widespread adoption of the metadata conventions that would help
within that one particular domain.
But a general query across unrelated domains of "what metadata
structures are you using?" ... I can't think of how that would
happen. I'm wondering if I've just misunderstood what it is you are
looking for.
