Forum topic: Submitted by carolgeyer on Fri, 2006-09-08 20:00. Last updated on Fri, 2006-09-08 20:01.

  • OpenDocument was developed in a completely open, publicly visible, vendor-neutral, royalty-free standards process that allows input from the entire user community

  • OpenDocument is one schema for text, spreadsheets, charts, and graphical documents. There are no distinct schemas for the different kind of office applications.

  • OpenDocument is highly interoperable by making use of existing standards like HTML , SVG , XSL , SMIL , XLink , XForms , MathML or Dublin Core wherever possible.

  • OpenDocument has a package concept and can be used as default file format for office applications without disadvantages in file size or integrity.
