To OASIS members, Public Announce Lists:
The OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC has recently approved the following specification as a Committee Draft and approved the package for public review:
Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) Version 1.2
Please note that this specification consists of the main specification plus Parts 1, 2, and 3.
Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) Version 1.2 specifies the characteristics of an XML-based application-independent and platform-independent digital document file format, as well as the characteristics of software applications which read, write and process such documents. This standard is applicable to document authoring, editing, viewing, exchange and archiving, including text documents, spreadsheets, presentation graphics, drawings, charts and similar documents commonly used by personal productivity software applications.
The public review starts today, 17 December 2010, and ends 1 January 2011. This specification was previously submitted for a 60-day public review on 8 July 2010[1]; this 15-day review is limited in scope to changes made from the previous review. All changes are highlighted in the diff-marked PDF copy.
This is an open invitation to comment. We strongly encourage feedback from potential users, developers and others, whether OASIS members or not, for the sake of improving the interoperability and quality of OASIS work.
