Why ODF?

Summary

Why ODF?

OpenDocument Format:

  • is the ISO standard for office documents
  • handles both semantics and presentation separately
  • avoids the lock-in of the format by specific tools
  • is an ideal pivot format for use cases extending far beyond office related scenarios.

lpOD -- languages & platforms OpenDocument.

The lpOD Project develops a set of multilanguage tools around the OpenDocument Format standard.

  • Development of a library implementing the ISO/IEC 26300 OpenDocument Format standard in extenso.
  • Development of a set of high-level APIs in the Python, Perl, Ruby languages. The project has some industrial relevance through  projects and applications in the fields of Business Intelligence (BI) , CMS applied to museography, ETL, etc.

The lpOD project gathers several private and public entities :

The whole set of deliverables under the lpOD umbrella is released under Free Software Licenses.

The lpOD project has been selected by the french National Research Agency (ANR) in its 2008 call in the category "Content & Interactions" and stems from the competitivity cluster "Cap Digital" in 2008.
