Subject:	[CISSP-D] What is a standard?? Difference between standards, guidelines and procedures?

Hello,
 
 I just began studying for this and a question keeps on popping in my head. 
Excuse me if this is too basic.
 
 There are loads of definitions as to what a policy, a standard, a guideline or 
a procedure are. Still I don't get the real world differences.
 
I am really confused about how a simple security *policy* and a simple 
*standard* look like in real life, I cannot really tell them appart as of now 
just by reading theoretical definitions.
 
 The best way to solve this is to actually check some samples of each.
 
So, do you know where can you find any sample standards, guidelines and 
procedures that I can check?

Thanks!
