  • XXX Format Assessment
    Digital Preservation Assessment: Date: 20/09/2016 Preservation Open Document Text (ODT) Format Team Preservation Assessment Version: 1.0 Open Document Text (ODT) Format Preservation Assessment Document History Date Version Author(s) Circulation 20/09/2016 1.0 Michael Day, Paul Wheatley External British Library Digital Preservation Team [email protected] This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Page 1 of 12 Digital Preservation Assessment: Date: 20/09/2016 Preservation Open Document Text (ODT) Format Team Preservation Assessment Version: 1.0 1. Introduction This document provides a high-level, non-collection specific assessment of the OpenDocument Text (ODT) file format with regard to preservation risks and the practicalities of preserving data in this format. The OpenDocument Format is based on the Extensible Markup Language (XML), so this assessment should be read in conjunction with the British Library’s generic format assessment of XML [1]. This assessment is one of a series of format reviews carried out by the British Library’s Digital Preservation Team. Some parts of this review have been based on format assessments undertaken by Paul Wheatley for Harvard University Library. An explanation of the criteria used in this assessment is provided in italics below each heading. [Text in italic font is taken (or adapted) from the Harvard University Library assessment] 1.1 Scope This document will primarily focus on the version of OpenDocument Text defined in OpenDocument Format (ODF) version 1.2, which was approved as ISO/IEC 26300-1:2015 by ISO/IEC JTC1/SC34 in June 2015 [2]. Note that this assessment considers format issues only, and does not explore other factors essential to a preservation planning exercise, such as collection specific characteristics, that should always be considered before implementing preservation actions.

    List of Word Processors (Page 1 of 2) Bob Hawes copied this list from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_word_processors.

This way, most of the software on page 1 is free, and most of the software on page 2 is not. Bob then used page 1 as the basis for his April 15, 2011 presentation Free Word Processors.
