Just a remainder that OGC is not the only source of standards. For example, GeoJSON is IETF
RFC 7946 for example (and before last year, was a community standard). GeoTIFF can also be
considered as a defacto standard, etc.. You have also the ISO standards for metadata, etc...
Probably a loose definition for standards could be a specification available somewhere
(potentially behind a paywall like ISO...), and implemented by at least several software/
vendors.
