[Bioperl-l] Uniform parsing vocabulary

I apologize for the cross-posting.

I'm involved in the BioJava project, and I'm looking at constructing a
uniform vocabulary for the parsed keys.  For example, currently in BioJava,
if an EMBL record is parsed the Organism information goes under the key
'OS', while if a Genbank record is parsed, the information is under the key
"ORGANISM".  Are there existing standards that define the keys used, or
should I put together a new proposal?
