OASIS Approves OpenDocument Standard

KDE, Software libre

OASIS has finally voted and approved the last draft of the OpenDocument 1.0 specification as an open standard. This is a document file format for saving office documents such as spreadsheets, memos, charts, and presentations. This format is based on the XML-based file format developed by OpenOffice.org, and has already been adopted by OOo 2 and KOffice.

Its importance cannot be understated, as it will help to bring compatibility (and hence competition) back to office applications. So far, the de facto standard was the last version of MS Office, and many people and organizations became locked in to this single software vendor. With OASIS OpenDocument the user gets the rights to his own documents back.

Hopefully, public institutions as the European Union will now deprecate doc, xls, ppt, etc and embrace the new odt, ods, odp, etc formats, which will probably become ISO standards as well.
