Check out the EDIF (Electronic Display Interchange Format??) standard.
A number of vendors are supporting this standard for interchanging IC
and PCB databases.  It is a Lisp-like langauge for specifying a heirarchical

P.S.  The only vendor I am 100% positive is supporting EDIF is Cadnetix.
I believe most of the rest of the industry is also supporting it but I
don't have their names.
