I'm looking for a standard data format which can be used to publish weather data collected by a Davis Instrument Vantage Pro 2 weather station.

This is in order to comply to openData movement.

Do you have any JSON/XML/other standard data format that VP2 data should follow to publish its data ?

    If you're interested in Open Data, have you considered contributing to [Open Weather Map](http://openweathermap.org)? They have [clear instructions](http://openweathermap.org/stations) on how to setup your device with their API and what sort of format they want the data in. – Jack Harrison Jul 25 '13 at 14:34

Take a look at the CF Metadata Convention. It is a convention "designed to promote the processing and sharing of files created with the NetCDF API." NetCDF is a format that can be aware of units, datums, timezones, etc. and CF ensures that this metadata is all coherent.
