are there any standards for web service development?

@Preet: No it's not, it's a loose convention of practices, and long way from being a standard.

It is simple, and therefore used far more widely on the Internet. The enterprise solutions usually go with more complex ways of achieving same results :)

remember that REST is not the answer for All Web Services! there is time that REST is not the way to go.

As in like the SOAP standard for data transfer? Is that how you mean?

Most web standards are provided by W3C community. WSDL is the standard that descibes the services methods, binding, end points, etc.

Web Services are all about interoperability so follow WS-I Basic Profile, it has all the standard guidelines.
