COLLADA is a file format designed for scene interchange.

COLLADA has been a COLLAborative Design Activity for establishing an open standard Digital Asset schema for interactive 3D applications. It is a standard of The Khronos Group. It is XML-based and has a primary focus of transporting scene to game engines but provides a open architecture to extend it. It is open source, unlike it's competitor formats such as FilmBox (.fbx).

Here is the offical Collada Forum.

As of version 8.1, Houdini supports subset of Collada import functions under the File>Import menu.
