OpenDocumentFormatin
OpenDocument Format (ODF) is an open standard for representing office documents such as spreadsheets, presentations, and text documents. Developed by the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS), ODF was first published in 2005 as a response to proprietary file formats like Microsoft Office's DOCX. The format is designed to be XML-based, ensuring compatibility, interoperability, and accessibility across different software applications.
ODF documents are structured using a hierarchical XML schema, which allows for clear separation between content,
One of the key advantages of ODF is its openness and transparency. Since the format is publicly
ODF is also aligned with accessibility standards, ensuring that documents can be read and edited by people
While ODF remains widely used, it competes with other open standards like Microsoft’s Office Open XML (OOXML).
