There are likely several that could be relied upon. One commercial one that
has public disclosure is MapInfo's MIF/MID format. The ASCII content can be
readily imported by just about every desktop GIS out there. There are also a
number of stand alone utilities that will translate MIF/MID into popular GIS
formats.
You can surf to several sites and get the details....

Subject: GISList: de facto standards
Hi ,
I would like to ask what universal data formats (both "old" and
"new", binary or ASCII) should be used to ensure portability of digital
maps - both raster and vector among most of the available GIS software
without a risk of information loss.
Thanks in advance
Viktoras
