Full Title

Open document format for office applications (OpenDocument)

Description

OpenDocument is a non-proprietary file format standard for office documents. This open format aims to enable exchange of office documents without problems relating to software compatibility or vendor lock-in.

OpenDocument (ODF) defines three XML schemas which can be used together to describe and package most formats of office documents; including text, charts, graphics and spreadsheets.

The first schema is in chapters 1-16 and defines office documents. The second schema is for the packaging file, known as the manifest file, and is defined in Chapter 17. This enables binary objects such as images, for which XML has no support, to be held together with XML using a standard ZIP file. It also allows for optional XML compression to avoid overly large files.

A strict schema, for office documents, is defined in Appendix A. This only allows the use of metadata and formatting properties contained in the specification.
