  • Open by Design
    An OASIS White Paper Open by Design The Advantages of the OpenDocument Format (ODF) ##### D R A F T ##### By the OASIS ODF Adoption TC For OASIS OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards) is a not-for-profit, international consortium that drives the development, convergence, and adoption of e-business standards. Members themselves set the OASIS technical agenda, using a lightweight, open process expressly designed to promote industry consensus and unite disparate efforts. The consortium produces open standards for Web services, security, e-business, and standardization efforts in the public sector and for application-specific markets. OASIS was founded in 1993. More information can be found on the OASIS website at http://www.oasis-open.org. The purpose of the OASIS OpenDocument Format Adoption Committee is to create awareness and demand for a new class of applications and solutions designed specifically to support and leverage OpenDocument XML. The Adoption Committee dedicates its energy and resources to create wide scale understanding of the benefits of OpenDocument format support within organizations and governmental bodies through education and promotion. The Adoption Committee aligns and supports the activities of the OASIS OpenDocument Technical Committee by providing market- based requirements. These requirements help guide future development of the OpenDocument specification by the OASIS OpenDocument Technical Committee. 2 Last revision 19 September 2006 Table of Contents Owning your Data: Why an

    Office Padrões abertos de documentação - ODF Sumário Extensões ODF Formatos da documentação Formato Open Document Vantagens do ODF Formatos da documentação Nas últimas décadas foi criada uma grande quantidade de formatos de arquivos incompativeis entre si. Assim, uma pessoa que utilize uma versão antiga do Word (por exemplo, anterior ao Office 95) não consegue ler documentos do próprio Word, mas escritos em uma versão mais atual, como a do Office 2007. Portanto, documentos escritos e armazenados com a mesma terminação doc porém usando diversas versões do Word, ou do WordPerfect, podem ser ilegíveis, não operáveis, se após algum tempo for necessário ler ou migrar estes dados. É importante notar que interoperabilidade não é apenas uma questão técnica, é a base para o compartilhamento de informações e conhecimento, e é também o fundamento para a reorganização de processos administrativos. Assim, os formatos de arquivos proprietários e fechados são causa de problemas. Um exemplo trágico aconteceu após o tsunami de dezembro de 2004 que destruiu regiões costeiras e vitimou centenas de milhares de pessoas e animais na Ásia. As várias equipes internacionais de resgate que foram auxiliar as vítimas tiveram sua ação foi prejudicada, pois muitos dos documentos que tinham que ser lidos e trocados eram incompatíveis. Diversos programas editores de texto e de planilhas eram usados. Especialmente editores proprietários e fechados. Ficou muito difícil trocar arquivos • tanto entre versões antigas e atuais do mesmo programa ( Exemplo: entre Word 2002 e Word 6 ) e • entre programas diferentes ( Exemplo: entre Word e WordPerfect). Muito tempo foi perdido para resolver esse problema tecnológico. E, quanto mais o tempo passava, muitas vidas, humanas e não humanas, eram ceifadas.
