OASIS submits OpenDocument as ISO standard
The group behind the OpenDocument standard has submitted the document format to International Organization for Standardization (ISO), a move that could make open-source desktop applications more attractive to governments.
OASIS, the Organization for the Advancement of
Structured Information Standards, said it has submitted the standard to
the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). OpenDocument
is a set of document formats for storing desktop applications,
including word processors, spreadsheets and presentation software.
OpenDocument will continue to be developed and maintained
within OASIS, but the group is seeking the ISO standardization to make
the document formats more accessible, according to an OASIS
representative.
