If you truly mean standardized tools and processes- I would say  eeks!
I think there is an art and a science to what we do, and while its 
useful to have a toolset of accepted/well-regarded tools and 
processes to pull from - I think it would be terrible to try to 
standardize the process.

(except at the level of shared international standards for underlying 
formats -such as Dublin Core - I think these types of standards can 
be useful.)
