You might want to look at the CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile).  It is 
an ISO (and ANSI) standard: IS 8632 (parts 1-4) (ANS 122.1 - 122.4).  For
a good overview of the CGM see "IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications",
August 1986, Volume 6, Number 8, pages 24-32.  The CGM is designed for
graphics image information interchange.  It is currently defined for 
2D graphics information.

Hope that helps.
