The '''Open Document Format for Office Applications''' ('''ODF'''), also known as '''OpenDocument''', standardized as '''ISO 26300''', is an [[open file format]] for [[word processor|word processing]] documents, [[spreadsheet]]s, [[Presentation program|presentations]] and graphics and using [[Zip (file format)|ZIP]]-compressed<ref>Extract an odt file with unzip on Linux to see the actual resource hierarchy</ref> [[XML]] files.

The most common [[filename extension]]s used for OpenDocument documents are:<ref>{{cite web |title=RUA: Supported formats |url=http://www.ua.es/en/rua/formatos.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090615185541/http://www.ua.es/en/rua/formatos.html |archive-date=15 June 2009 |language=es}}</ref><ref name="hg flat opendocument">{{cite web |url=http://www.ensode.net/roller/dheffelfinger/entry/openoffice_documents_version_control_with |title=OpenOffice.org Document Version Control With Mercurial |access-date=7 June 2010}}</ref>
* <code>.odt</code> and <code>.fodt</code> for [[word processor|word processing]] (text) documents
* <code>.ods</code> and <code>.fods</code> for [[spreadsheet]]s
* <code>.odp</code> and <code>.fodp</code> for [[presentation]]s
* <code>.odg</code> and <code>.fodg</code> for [[graphics]]
* <code>.odf</code> for [[formula]], mathematical equations

The original OpenDocument format consists of an [[XML]] document that has <code><document></code> as its [[root element]]. OpenDocument files can also take the format of a [[ZIP (file format)|ZIP]] compressed archive containing a number of files and directories; these can contain binary content and benefit from ZIP's [[lossless compression]] to reduce file size. OpenDocument benefits from [[separation of concerns]] by separating the content, styles, metadata, and application settings into four separate XML files.

There is a comprehensive set of example documents in OpenDocument format available.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://testsuite.opendocumentfellowship.com/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110830170930/http://testsuite.opendocumentfellowship.com/ |archive-date=30 August 2011 |title=OpenDocument Sample Documents|year=2006|publisher=[[Intel Corporation]]|access-date= 12 December 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref> The whole test suite is available under the [[Creative Commons licenses|Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 license]].

==History==
{{Main|OpenDocument standardization}}

===Conception===
The OpenDocument standard was developed by a Technical Committee (TC) under the [[OASIS (organization)|Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards]] (OASIS) industry consortium. The ODF-TC has members from a diverse set of companies and individuals. Active TC members have voting rights. Members associated with Sun and IBM have sometimes had a large voting influence.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/membership.php?wg_abbrev=office | title=OpenDocument TC's {{Sic|hide=y|publicly|-}}visible membership roster | access-date=3 November 2007}}</ref> The standardization process involved the developers of many office suites or related document systems.

The first official ODF-TC meeting to discuss the standard was 16 December 2002. OASIS approved OpenDocument as an OASIS standard on 1 May 2005. OASIS submitted the ODF specification to [[ISO/IEC JTC 1|ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1]] (JTC 1) on 16 November 2005, under Publicly Available Specification (PAS) rules. ISO/IEC standardization for an open document standard including text, spreadsheet and presentation was proposed for the first time in [[Danish UNIX User Group|DKUUG]] 28 August 2001.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.open-std.org/keld/iso26300-odf/dkuug-std-010828.pdf | title=Meeting agenda for DKUUG STD 2001-08-28 – item 5.6 | access-date=13 March 2015}}</ref>

After a six-month review period, on 3 May 2006, OpenDocument unanimously passed its six-month DIS (Draft International Standard) ballot in [[JTC 1]] ([[ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 34]]), with broad participation,<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.jtc1sc34.org/repository/0728revc.htm | title=<!--what the title actually says: "ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 34 Information Technology -->Document Description and Processing Languages-->Summary of Voting on DIS ISO/IEC 26300 – Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) v1.0 | date=13 June 2006 | access-date=24 August 2006 | author=ISO/IEC SC34 Secretariat | work=ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 34 Document Repository | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061001180333/http://www.jtc1sc34.org/repository/0728revc.htm | archive-date = 1 October 2006}}</ref> after which the OpenDocument specification was "approved for release as an ISO and IEC International Standard" under the name ISO/IEC 26300:2006.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.iso.org/iso/en/commcentre/pressreleases/2006/Ref1004.html | title=ISO and IEC approve OpenDocument OASIS standard for data interoperability of office applications | date=8 May 2006 | access-date=24 August 2006 | work=ISO Press Releases | publisher=[[International Organization for Standardization|ISO]] | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060519180809/http://www.iso.org/iso/en/commcentre/pressreleases/2006/Ref1004.html | archive-date=19 May 2006}}</ref>

After responding to all written ballot comments, and a 30-day default ballot, the OpenDocument [[international standard]] went to publication in ISO, officially published 30 November 2006.

==Response==

===Support for OpenDocument===
Several governments, companies, organizations and software products support the OpenDocument format. For example:
* The OpenDoc Society runs frequent [[ODF Plugfest]]s{{Definition needed|date=May 2021}} in association with industry groups and Public Sector organisations. The 10th Plugfest<ref>[http://plugfest.opendocumentformat.org/2014-london/ 10th Plugfest hosted by the UK Cabinet Office December 2014]</ref> was hosted by the UK [[Government Digital Service]] in conjunction with industry associations including the [[OpenForum Europe]] and [[OpenUK|OpenUK (formerly Open Source Consortium)]].
** An output of the 10th Plugfest was an ODF toolkit<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.openforumeurope.org/library/odf-toolkit-2/|title = ODF Toolkit}}</ref> which includes "Open Document Format principles for Government Technology" that has the purpose of simply explaining the case for ODF directed at the "average civil servant" and includes an extract from the UK Government policy relating to Open Document Format. 
** The toolkit also includes a single page graphical image<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.openforumeurope.org/library/ODF/odf-toolkit-folder/OFE-COIS-ODF-infographic-release-02150325-by-sa.jpeg |title=Archived copy |website=www.openforumeurope.org |access-date=11 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150620003502/http://www.openforumeurope.org/library/ODF/odf-toolkit-folder/OFE-COIS-ODF-infographic-release-02150325-by-sa.jpeg |archive-date=20 June 2015 |url-status=dead}}</ref> designed to articulate the consequences of not choosing Open Document Format. The illustration has now been translated into more than 10 languages.
* Information technology companies like [[Apple Inc.]], [[Adobe Systems]], [[Google]], [[IBM]], [[Intel]], [[Microsoft]], [[Nokia]], [[Novell]], [[Red Hat]], [[Oracle Corporation|Oracle]] as well as other companies who may or may not be working inside the OASIS OpenDocument Adoption Technical Committee.
* Over 600 companies and organizations promote OpenDocument format through The [[OpenDocument Format Alliance]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.odfalliance.org/members.php |title=ODF Alliance members |access-date=24 May 2009 |work=ODF Alliance |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090403055912/http://www.odfalliance.org/members.php |archive-date=3 April 2009}}</ref>

* The free office suites [[Apache OpenOffice]], [[Calligra]], [[KOffice]], [[NeoOffice]] and [[LibreOffice]] all use OpenDocument as their default file format.
* Several organisations, such as the [https://web.archive.org/web/20071027064136/http://opendocumentfellowship.com/ OpenDocument Fellowship] and [http://opendocsociety.org/ OpenDoc Society] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211119055806/http://opendocsociety.org/ |date=19 November 2021 }} were founded to support and promote OpenDocument.

* The default text processing applications in Windows 10 ([[WordPad]]) and Mac OS 10.9 ([[TextEdit]]) support OpenDocument Text.

On 4 November 2005, IBM and Sun Microsystems convened the "OpenDocument (ODF) Summit" in [[Armonk, New York]], to discuss how to boost OpenDocument adoption. The ODF Summit brought together representatives from several industry groups and technology companies, including Oracle, Google, Adobe, Novell, Red Hat, Computer Associates, Corel, Nokia, Intel, and Linux e-mail company Scalix (LaMonica, 10 November 2005). The providers committed resources to technically improve OpenDocument through existing standards bodies and to promote its usage in the marketplace, possibly through a stand-alone foundation.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.cnet.com/OpenDocument-format-gathers-steam/2100-7344_3-5942913.html|title=OpenDocument format gathers steam|author=Martin LaMonica|publisher=CNET News|date=10 November 2005<!-- 4:00 AM PST-->|access-date=10 September 2012}}</ref> Scholars have suggested that the "OpenDocument standard is the wedge that can hold open the door for competition, particularly with regard to the specific concerns of the public sector."<ref name="papers.ssrn.com">{{Cite book |last1=Casson |first1=Tony |title=The Standards Edge: Unifier Or Divider? |last2=Ryan |first2=Patrick S. |publisher=Sheridan Books |year=2006 |isbn=9780974864853 |chapter=Open Standards, Open Source Adoption in the Public Sector, and Their Relationship to Microsoft’s Market Dominance |ssrn=1656616 |chapter-url=https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1656616}}</ref> Indeed, adoption by the public sector has risen considerably since the promulgation of the OpenDocument format initiated the 2005/2006 time period.<ref name="papers.ssrn.com" />

==Adoption==
{{Main|OpenDocument adoption}}

One objective of open formats like OpenDocument is to guarantee long-term access to data without legal or technical barriers, and some governments have come to view open formats as a public policy issue. Several governments around the world have introduced policies of partial or complete adoption.<ref name="papers.ssrn.com"/> What this means varies from case to case; in some cases, it means that the ODF standard has a national standard identifier; in some cases, it means that the ODF standard is permitted to be used where national regulation says that non-proprietary formats must be used, and in still other cases, it means that some government body has actually decided that ODF will be used in some specific context. The following is an incomplete list:
