I don't know about a standard, but what I use is
dist: for distributor
dist_p/n: for the distributor's part number
manf: for manufacture
manf_p/n: for the manufacture's part number
documentation: for the datasheet

As a plug for gattrib_csv, after I edit the BOM I re-import it back into 
the schematic.  This makes it so that when I copy and paste a part from 
one design to another all the source information gets copied with it.
