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.

  • Feasibility Study: Migrating from Microsoft Office to Libreoffice in An
    Feasibility Study: Migrating from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice in an Academic Enterprise Environment By: Curran Hamilton, David Hersh, Jacqueline McPherson, Tyler Mobray Humboldt State University May 4th, 2012 Abstract This study investigates the feasibility of a migration from Microsoft Office to an alternative office suite at Humboldt State University. After investigating the market for viable alternatives, it was determined that only the open source LibreOffice might be mature enough to meet the needs of a complex enterprise. A literature search was done to learn more about the suite and its development community. Use cases were drawn up and test cases were derived from them in order to compare the functionality of LibreOffice with that of Microsoft Office. It was concluded that LibreOffice is a rapidly maturing and promising suite that may be a viable replacement in one to two years, but is not an acceptable alternative to Microsoft Office in the enterprise environment today. 1 1. Introduction Due to continually increasing costs associated with the CSU’s contract with Microsoft for its many products, including the Office suite, Humboldt State University decided to look into other office suites (preferably open source) that can perform acceptably in place of Microsoft Office (MS Office). The Information Technology Services (ITS) department hired a team of four interns (Curran Hamilton, David Hersh, Jacqueline McPherson, and Tyler Mobray) to determine if a successful migration away from MS Office was feasible enough to warrant further research. We explored other office products currently available, decided on candidate suites, and tested the candidates. Finally, we analyzed and reported on our findings.

  • Can Libreoffice and Apache Openoffice Be Alternatives to MS-Office from Consumer's Perspective?
    2016 2 nd International Conference on Social, Education and Management Engineering (SEME 2016) ISBN: 978-1-60595-336-6 "Make It Possible" Study: Can LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice Be Alternatives to MS-Office from Consumer's Perspective? Jun IIO 1,* and Shusaku OHGAMA 2 1Socio-informatics Dept. Faculty of Letters, Chuo University, 742-1 Higashinakano, Hachioji-shi, Tokyo, Japan 2Information Technology Dept. Information Systems Div., Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd., 4-5-33 Kitahama, Chuo-ku, Osaka-shi, Osaka, Japan *Corresponding author Keywords: Open-source software, LibreOffice, OpenOffice, Productivity suites. Abstract. There are many guidebooks which offer some instruction of using productivity suites, and most of them focus on Microsoft's Office (MS-Office,) because it is the dominant products in the market. However, we have some other productivity suites, such as LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice, as the alternative of MS-Office. Therefore, we investigated whether such software could be used properly, within the content of the guidebooks which are widely used. In this paper, the results of our investigation show that the interoperability of such software has already reached a tolerable level from a practical perspective. Introduction Recently, we can find in bookstores many books for reference that provide guidelines on how to operate productivity suites. However, most of them only focus on Microsoft's Office suites (MS-Office,) because it has the largest market share in the world in the productivity software market. On the other hand, there are some other options, such as LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice. In recent days, persons in businesses face some problems in using these productivity suites.
