Hello Neville,
I don't know if Tables need standardizing. Record Batches are part of the spec (*), and they are the basic block for exchanging and sharing tabular data. Depending on your application, you might exchange a stream of Record Batches, or a fixed-length sequence thereof (in which case you have a "Table"). (*) see https://arrow.apache.org/docs/metadata.html (reading that spec though, it's not obvious to me why the Record Batch definition doesn't reference a Schema) Regards Antoine.
